EDlTORS' PREFACE

Lee/oli salu/em!

\'fie are happy to present the 17th volume of our A llllllal if Medieval Studies a/ CEU. In it you will find some of the main research results from the 2009-2010 academic year. As usual, the first section contains articles based on the most innovative MA theses of 2010 as well as o ther papers presented by some of our students at conferences. As befits the multi-disciplinary nature of our department, the topics covered in these student papers are wide-ranging, reflecting the main intellectual strands within the department itself. The first paper deals with earl)' medieval dialectics in Frankish ecclesiastical texts. The second paper concerns aspects of the foundation of physics in medieval philosophical thought, followed by an assessment of the degree of climatic deterioration in the Hungarian Ki ngdom in the fourteenth century, ll10stlv using charter texts as a primary source material. A medieval borderland is the central point of tlle next paper, fo llowed by observations concerning the use of wall -paintings on exterior church walls as political propaganda in late medieval Moldavia. The fi nal contribution to this first part contains an examination of military eli tes in Byzantine Hi stria.

This year we are proud to present two interesting tllematic blocks. The first one is dedicated to the question of etl1l1.icity and ethnogenesis, a topic that has been in the focus of historical research for some decades now. Most of tlle articles are based on discussions in a PhD seminar in the 2009 Fall Term. Participants in the seminar reviewed state of the art research questions related to tlle notion of ethnicity in history and archaeology and discussed the outcomes and consequences for future research.

Special focus was placed on various models of ethnicity, for instance the ones developed in the so-called Vienna and Toronto Schools. Interestingly, the debate surrounding this topic was sparked off a few years ago in a study of tlle Gotbs and their "ethnogenesis". T he debate not only revealed the different approaches to the topic or a certain diversity of opinions but ignited a debate on what constituted the basis of historical research . The question at stake is about

nothing less than the limits of historical methodology. How much do the sources tell us about past societies and how much does the form of our interpretation tell us about our own academic or political environment? Given the history of our own discipline we need to be constantly aware of the limits in our capacity to understand past societies. Talking about ethnici ty always implies adoption of our own concepts of society transplanted onto past societies that had a different perception of social reality. Nevertheless, recent discussions have produced

MEDIEVAL MONASTIC REGIONS IN CENTRAL EUROPE­

THE SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL LANDSCAPE SETTING OF

MONASTIC ORDERS AND RELIGIOUS HOUSES

Jozsef Las'{jOV-tZk:JI- HedJlJig f{jickeleil1

Joint Research Project of CEU and Georg-August University, Gottingen Supported by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) and MOB (Hungarian Scholarship Board) Research Scheme (2009-2010)

The Aim of the Project:

Traditional studies in the field of medieval monasteries have focused mainly on individual monastic orders or on the regional topography of monastic foundations, yielding histories of various orders and regional l!Iollasten'%gia- rype monographs. These studies have produced significant results and have contributed to positivist data collection concerning medieval monastic ins titutions. Recent monastic studies, however, have scarted co focus on other aspects of medieval monastic cultures such as the social and economic background of the foundation process, the landscape setting of the monasteries, and gender-related aspects of monastic life based on interdisciplinary studies of monastic complexes (monastic architecture, monastic landscapes, archaeological investigations of monastic complexes, etc.).

At the same time, comparative, regional approaches, taking into account all the monastic foundations from all monastic orders, have contributed to an understanding of various historical-geographical regions in medieval Europe. In these studies, different types of monasteries were used as indicators for understanding complex historical processes and characteristic regional features. Amongst the issues most frequently discussed are royal patronage and monasteries, mendicant orders in the context of royal power and urban development, female monasticism, regional, social, and economic conditions and monastic orders as vehicles of intellectual, spiritual, and technical innovations. These new approaches have produced significant results in the form of large European comparative studies, such as the process of Christianization and the monastic mission in the contexts of Northern and East-Central Europe.

No such studies have been carried Out, however, in the historical-geographical framework of Central Europe, including the southern and eastern parts of the Holy Roman Empire and the regions of Latin Christianity in East-Central Europe,

Medieval lv[onastic Regions in Central Europe

including the medieval ](jngdom of Hungary. This project therefore aimed at comparing these areas and studying the above-mentioned research questions in five research fields. The results of these research areas constitute a new monastic map for Central E urope, especially for selected areas of medieval German and Hungarian monasticism.

Previous Studies:

The Georg-August University of Gottingen and CEU have long dealt with the complex investigation of monastic history. Individual research projects, masters' theses, and docto ral dissertatio ns have been produced on this topic. Faculty members at these two centers have published extensively in the area of medieval monastic stu?ies and have organized externally financed research groups. Previous research projects at these centers include a study of nunneries and canonesses houses (G6ttingen) and the complex lIIollosten'ologia of medieval Hungary (CED). The project results formed tlle methodological basis for this joint project. Based on prevloUS research , fi ve main research targets were selected for a comparative approach.

The Five Research Areas of the Project:

1 B · d' . . me .Ietmc IIIollastirislII olld tbe /;ollses of jell/ale canonesses: The !J11SSJOI1 and

Christia~lizatioll of tbe eO'lllhJ'side (Ililltb to hlJeI(tb century). Early Benedictine monastic foundations and female canoness' houses in Central Europe played a cruCIal role In the process of Christianization. Benedictine monks contributed significantly to early missions in G erman, Austrian, and Hungarian areas, as did canoness' ~lo uses in northern German areas. This part of the project took into consIderation tlle ec nomic and ocial factors of major Benedictine foundations and compared tllem within a regional and chronological framework. A parallel development chart fo r some selected abbeys and convents (such as Fulda, Corvey, H.erford, E ssen , \"\lerden, Gandersheim, Quedlinburg, Pannonhalma, Bakonybel, Tlha.ny, S0 l1l0~)'va r, and ther ) was assembled, including their economic and arc~tectural hlS[ory. i\ similar set of questions was applied to analyze the main periods of dcvel pment (~ undation conditions, patronage, the estate system, the economlC system, literacy and the b ok culture as well as the architectural and ~rtistic programs). For these case studies, two major questions were addressed In. th.e COntext of the hi sl ry of Benedictine and canoness' houses: their role in Il1lSSl0nary activity and their contribuo n to the transformation of dle social and economIC sys tems between the ninth and tlle twelfth centuries.

2. Monastic reforlll movements of tbe IlIJelftb century and tbe spall'a! disfli/Jlltioll if I/eJII joulldations: Medieval monastic reforms can be connected to a number of monastic orders, the most important of which were the Benedictines, Cistercians, Premonstratensians, Augustinian canons, and Carthusians. Recent monastic studies on these orders have shown tbat the spatial distribution of the o rders, the hierarchy of the order, and the connection between monastic and canons' houses (e.g., the Cistercian filiation system) can reveal significant regional differences and attitudes coward the creation of new monastic communities. The expansion of these orders from Western Europe to different parts of Central Europe indicates different expansion strategies based on local ecclesiastical, economic, social, and political factors. Comparative mapping of these monastic foundations in different parts of Central Europe showed how these orders adapted their monastic ideas to local conditions and to what extent the monas tic landscapes (spiritual and physical) of these monastic houses reflected the tension between the idea and reality of their foundation goals. The comparative study in this case was not based on individual case-studies, but on the spatial analysis of all foundations belonging co these orders in til e study area, and on the cross-overs between convents belonging to different orders (e.g., Augustinian canon houses and female Benedictine houses) .

3. Female monastieism. Recent monastic studies have started to focus on the gender-related aspects of medieval monastic culture. Female monasteries, or nunneries, are now seen not only as the counterparts of male monastic ideals, but as special institutions for different types o f female religiosity. Particularly innovative studies were carried out in the context o f early medieval female nunneries and canoness' houses that depended on the aristocracy and on female religious houses established by royal and princely courts. Comparative studies can shed light on changes in monastic orders and concomItant changes in spiri tual ideas. It has been noted recently that there were major differences in the number o f female monasteries and their ratios compared to male monaste ries in different parts of Europe. Two areas, medieval Hungary and Bavaria, display a very low number of nunneries whereas a high number of canoness' houses were established in Saxony. The aim of this part of the project was to analyze social (family structure inheritance system, etc.) and economic factors that contributed to the developmen~ of this particular pattern. At the same time, how medieval courts influenced the emergence of large female monasteries attached or connected to rulers' COUrts

was examined as well as what happened to the intellectual and spiritual orientation of female houses after the reform period of the twelfth century. Libraries and scriptoria were used as the most important indicators.

Medieval Monastic Regions in Central Europe

4. A1endicol/t orders i ll tbe cOlltext if "rball detJe/op",ent and rq)'a/ patronage: Research based on Jacques le Goff's seminal work on urban development and mendicant orders has been in dle front line of monastic studies for the last three decades. More rece l~t investigations, however, have shown dlat using the general pattern of a mendIcant presence as an urban indicator should be modified or at least partially modified in some areas, particularly East-Central Europe. Comparative study of German and Austrian towns and medieval Hungarian towns with SIgnIficant German populations is particularly important in understanding urban development In the Central European region. Comparisons were based on the general chronology of mendicant foundations and on particular studies of mendIcant institutions where a courtly influence can be seen (Munich Vien Bd ' . , na,

u a, and Vlsegrad). These examples and the comparative studies highlight the problem of reSIdence and mendIcant foundations, and also the different approaches of the Franci scan and Dominican orders in Central Europe. 5. In all these res~arch areas, quantitative methods were used for the analysis based on already~exlsung computer databases and additional development of these data sets WIthIn the context of the research project. Programs for spatial analYSIS were applied ro tlle Gottingen-based "FemMoData" database covering 2700 femal e monaStefle s 111 Europe, and regional characteristics were studied with the help of the "Mona steries and Chapters in IVledieval Hungary" database and CD-ROM 1I/0Ilfls1en'o!ogia developed by a research team connected to CEU. The

~~sult~ of tllese pro jecr elements will be published on internet-based home-pages, Ith links to sllnIial quanmauve, large-sca.le monastIc databases.

The five pro ject elements were discussed in four workshops, where faculty members, post-does and doctoral students o f dle two eenters presented their research results, and discussed the results of the regional comparative studies. DurIng these workshops, academic fie ld trips were also organized to major monastic centers studied widlin the fram ework of the project (Gandersheim, Quedlll1burg. Pannonhalma, and Visegnid).

The Project and its Relevance for the PhD Programs at the two Institutions

DOctoral education plays a crucial ro le in the academic activity of bo th institutions. PhD students played an active r le in tlle research projects. The joint research proposal was based 11 thei r doctoral research. The mob ili ty element of the project

was worked Out so thar PhD students were able to spend intensive well-targeted research I)eriods at rl . . . I Th . .

, le rwo lesea rc 1 cen ters. elf research perIods were long enough (1 month each) ro enable them ro work Witll faculty members and other doctoral students at dIe host insti tutio n. Their research focused on two activities.

299

J 6zsef Laszlovszky - Hedwig Rockelein

One was the collection of new source materials (primary and secondary) for a comparative approach and the other was comparative work in the given research areas. The academic visits of the doctoral students were organized together with workshops. Thus, senior researchers from both institutions were able to discuss a research target and schedule with the entire group of PhD students. The academic visits of the doctoral students started with joint workshops where special sessions were devoted to their research topics. After they returned to their home institutions, their individual research results were also presented as papers in one of the later workshops. Thus, the research project can be seen as an integral part of the two PhD programs and the most important research outputs (workshop publications, internet-based publications) will also be based on the work of the PhD srudents. Mobility periods and expenses were designed so that doctoral students were able to spend fairly long research periods in the other center, while senior researchers' visits were only connected to the workshops.
