Listina prostějovských řeholních kanovníků (1403) ze Státního archivu ve Vratislavi
A document by the Prostějov Canons Regular (1403) from the State Archives in Wrocław

Summary/Abstract: Monasteries of the Canons Regular of St. Augustine were subordinated to the jurisdiction of diocesan bishops; there were no bonds on an ecclesiastical-administrative level and central control of the order was absent. The absent formal legal bonds were replaced to some extent with confraternal bonds, through which canonries formed a liturgical and prayer community. The author presents an unpublished document by the provost and monastery of Canons Regular of St. Augustine in Prostějov dated 29 November 1403 and addressed to St. Mary’s Monastery in Wrocław. The document, kept in the State Archives in Wrocław, does not differ from other documents written in the Roudnice circle of monasteries of Canons Regular of St. Augustine; it bears a textual similarity to most of the other documents.
