Abstract

Considering their popularity and feasibility, by the mid-13th century and the 14th one, the development of urban mendicant clusters shouldn't come as a surprise, not even in Transylvania, at the eastern border of the Christianitas. Topics to be covered include (but are not limited to): the physical transformation of the landscapes by ecclesiastical institutions, strategies of Christianisation.
