Early Mendicant Architecture in Medieval Hungary

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract (may include machine translation)

    The mendicant orders arrived to Hungary in the early 13th century. The present
    paper discusses the topographical location of the mendicant houses within the cities and their
    architectural arrangement. It seems that the first, simplest type is connected to Dalmatian and
    probably to Italian prototypes; the second, more complicated type is a common East Central
    European feature; while the third type with polygonal presbytery is related to the patronage of
    the royal court. By the early 14th century the mendicant architecture in Hungary was
    comparable to the contemporary Western European tendenc ies: urban topography and
    reduced Gothic decoration forms both tell about an integration process basically ended.
