Benedictine St George’s Monastery at the Prague Castle as a Crossroad of Medieval Cultural Trends and Ideas

Original language description

Benedictine St George’s Convent at the Prague Castle was not only the most powerful convent of the Czech lands, but also the center of cultural development. It was built and continuously influenced not only by well-educated nuns, but also by specific groups of persons standing inside monastery (matronae, canons, puallae) and outside (founders, donators, laics). The convent produced many manuscripts and supported a circulation of texts, especially in Latin and Czech language. For almost one century, the convent had its own scriptorium with a larger production of liturgical manuscripts. St George’s abbesses and nuns were in permanent contacts with other Czech Benedictine convents and monasteries.
