Summary/Abstract: The above papers show the main aspects of the textual sources about the material running of the mendicant friaries in Central Europe between the 1220’s and the 1550’s. First, much more documents did survive in this area than one could expect at first glance – especially from the mid-fifteenth century onwards. Moreover they belong to a wide variety of texts (endowment charters, accounts, records, last wills, obituaries...). Most of them are located in the Polish lands and come from the Dominicans. A large number were produced upon instruction from urban authorities. The planned programme (MARGEC) promises indeed to be fruitful.
