Summary: History of the Conventual Franciscans in Krk (part I)
Petar Runje
Abstract
In this volume of Krčki zbornik we are publishing a study from the manuscript bequest of Fr. Petar Runje, Ph.D. (1938-2014), a Third Order Glagolite Franciscan who spent the last years of his life in the Franciscan Glagolite Third Order Monastery of St. Francis of Assisi in the town of Krk. This is why he set about writing the history of this important Franciscan monastery. Based on unpublished archival sources, published materials and available literature, the author provided an overview of the life and activities of this monastic community of Conventual Franciscans from its beginnings until the close of the 18th century, when the monastery was assumed by the Third Order Glagolite Franciscans. He presents various data from the history of this monastic complex and its friars and the monastery’s status during the long period of the Middle Ages and Early Modern era. He also provides basic information on individual distinguished friars.
