On the Relationship between Individual Identity and Belonging to the Community (at the Example of the Carthusian Monastery at Lapis Refugii).

Year, pages: 2004, 124 - 131

Carthusian Monastery at Lapis Refugii in Scepusia (Spiš) was active in the period of years 1299–1543. The author analyses in the study circumstances of its foundation and community of the monastery (monks – fathers, priors, …) and also circle of donors from the view-point of their individual ethnic identity or origin. The analysis on the base of Chronicle of the Anonymous Carthusian and of the preserved documentary material reveals a varied picture of different ethnic and social identities. At the same time the author tries to characterize the relationship between individual identity and belonging to the society – community of the monastery. This belonging to the community of christians is revealed, especially from the view-point of the medieval universality of the Christianity, as more general, more containing, able to include the whole spectrum of the individual identities.
