Abstract
Medieval monastery of the Pauline order settled in the present-day municipality of Špišić Bukovica (medieval settlement Bakwa) is one among the first Pauline monasteries established at the border between Podravina and Slavonia. Although its remains still are not investigated, this monastery is mentioned in several medieval charters. The authors of this study deliver an overview of the activities of the Pauline order in the municipality of Špišić Bukovica from the time of the monastery’s foundation (i.e. the fourteenth century) up to the end of the eighteenth century when the Pauline order disappeared from the historical scene. One also has to mention disrupt of their activities during the period of the Ottoman conquest in the sixteenth century. This article represents a brief overview of all the presently known historiographical facts, preserved archival sources, and literature about the monastery, with a detailed analysis of the preserved charters.
