Title: Cirkevná situácia na Veľkej Morave po vyhnaní cyrilometodských učeníkov a jej možný odraz v architektúre
(The ecclesiastical Situation in Great Moravia after Expulsion of Cyrill–Methodius Disciples and its possible Reflection in Architecture) – PDF
Abstract: After the death of Archbishop Methodius the Cyrillo-Methodian disciples were expelled in the winter 885/886 from Great Moravia under drastic circumstances. Clergy of domestic noble origin probably had to retreat to their home headquarters without the possibility of participating in church development. The dominant role was taken over the Frankish clergy, who in the first years had to supplement the missing Slavic clerics concerning the pastoral reasons. They probably took over empty chuches that needed to be adapted to the Latin liturgy. After the departure of Wiching – the bishop of Nitra – to the court of king Arnulf, Great Moravia became church – jurisdictionally completely depended on the Bavarian dioceses. The article is devoted also to the questions whether a new sacral architecture was created in the mentioned period. It deals whether some of corpus of Great–Moravian known churches in the territory of Slovakia and Moravia could be dated to the related period too.
