"Having flourished in the 1980s in both western and eastern Europe, research into the economic management of the mendicant convents has recently picked up speed again, at least as far as the two largest mendicant orders, the Franciscans and the Dominicans, are concerned. Beatrix F. Romhányi has taken on a challenge in two respects, which sets her study apart from traditional research methods and deserves praise for this reason alone: on the one hand, she has chosen the comparatively small, regionally limited, and only little researched Pauline Order as the subject of her analysis; on the other hand, she breaks away from the prevailing approach of the study of individual monasteries by taking a look at the economy of the entire order in its home country […] the author has provided a well-prepared and immensely practical investigation, which definitely will serve as a reference for individual monasteries as well as a general overview for any future research on the overall topic.” Frederick Felskau, in The Journal of Medieval Monastic Studies 10 (2021).
