THE MIDDLE AGES PAULIST ARCHITECTURE IN DIOCESES OF MODRUŠ & KRBAVA AND SENJ
ZORISLAV HORVAT
Sažetak
The author points out here that Paulists beside Franciscans were the most important holy orders in Middle Ages Croatia or, even better to say, in dioceses of Modruš & Krbava and Senj. The foundation of their order started sometime mid 14th c. and lasted until the end of the 15th century, when Turkish penetration in those parts was intensified. Their foundation was for the most part supported by the potent Frankopani, the Princes of Krk, who were in fact the prop of the ecclesiastic, cultural and economic life of those parts. Unfortunately, Turkish attacks and conquests interrupted their activities and monasteries disappeared together with their activities, pieces of arts and buildings. Some monasteries on the Adriatic coast survived Turkish attacks and have in their activities reached inviable successes. Unfortunately also that was interrupted by the decision of the emperor Frances Joseph II in 1786, when a great many holy orders were abolished for, as stated, the unnecessariness of their activities. Paulist monasteries and churces were in fact very humble for the simple reason that was a hermitical order with modest demands. So, their modesty was well suited into a reduced Middle Ages architecture of the so called "outskirts orientation", which conservatively observed the old-established way of the construction, only occasionally accepting the achievements of the new style but conformed to their material and constructive possibilities. Unfortunately, with the exception of the Paulist monastery at Crikvenica which has been by recent reconstruction completely denied, all the others have remained in various archeological stages and are to be further explored.
