Kisbán Emil - A magyar Pálosrend története I.

This volume is the first part of Emil Kisbán's two-volume monograph on the Pauline Order, the only monastic order founded in Hungary. The book traces the history of the community from 1225 to 1711, placing it against the turbulent periods of European and Hungarian history in which the Pauline monks lived both as hermits in their monasteries and as defenders of the Christian faith against pagans and heretics.

The author draws on sources documenting the order's development, from its origins as a community of hermits to its role as an important religious and cultural force in the country. This edition is a facsimile of the 1940 publication and preserves the character of the original historical work.

The book will appeal to readers interested in Hungarian church history, the Middle Ages and the early modern period. It weighs 300 grams and was published in 2021 by Nemzeti Örökség Kiadó.
