CANONS REGULAR IN MEDIEVAL SRIJEM (SIRMIUM)

Stanko ANDRIĆ

Sažetak

Some contemporary Croatian researchers of medieval church history have put forward a thesis about the existence of the mo nas tery of Austin cano ns in irig and another of Austin hennits in Banoštor (both places were situated in the medieval county and bishopric of Srijem). ln the first two sections of this paper, these
fictitious monasteries are shown to be the result of a misinterpretation of the sources in question (charters from 1393 and 1345 respectively), which in actuality deal with otherwise well-known monasteries in lrög near Pies (county of Baranya) and in Btitmonostor (county of Bodrog). The remaining sections of the paper analyze two letters of pope Innocent Ill from 1198 which deal with the »canons of St. Abraham from the valley of Hebron« (canonici s. Abrahae de valle Ebron), present by that time in the formerly Benedictine a b bey of Banoštor. This information is put tn several relevant contexts: 1) history of the Crusader Hebron l 100-1187, its priory of canons regular and later bishopric; 2) the
continental routes of the first three Crosades, which crossed Srijem, as well as the relations of the Hungarian king Bila Ill (J 173-1196) with the Holy Land; 3)jinally, the Byzantine-Hungarian confrontation
over Srijem, especially the war of 1164-1167, which resulted in a short-lived Byzantine domination of the area. It was the Hungarian king Bila Ill and an archbishop of Kalocsa who handed over the abbey of Banoštor to the cano ns regular from Hebron, a decade before the fall of Hebron to the Muslims, and it appears that
Banoštor was the cano ns' unique European daughter-house. The fact that the Hungarian king and the archbishop were able to interfere in ecclesiastical matters in Srijem in the late l170s reveals the ambiguous nature of Byzantine domination there, which is usually assumed to have lasted up to the years following
Emperor Manuel's death (1180). The canonical community of Banoštor briejly outlived that of Hebron, dissolving before the end o/the 12th century. The Pope's eventual decision to replace it with »the canons regular who serve God according to the rule of St. Augustine«, probably shows that the cano ns regular of Hebron did not yet accept Augustine 's Regula ad servos dei in shaping their communallife.
