Their spiritual purpose was ill defined, lying somewhere between requests for intercession, obituary commemorations, and confraternities. In the hands of the mendicants, they seem to have been what indulgences had become in the hands of bishops and the papacy at the end of the Middle Ages : an enticement used without restraint to extort funds from the faithful by holding out the possibility of almost instant access to Paradise. In return, they would seem to have suffered the same fate as indulgences, gradually voided of substance and condemned, even before Luther, as glaring proof of the Roman Church’s corruption. Many a summary keeps to this fairly unflattering picture, or makes no mention of them. This paper reveals the reasons behind researchers’ lack of interest in these singular associations. Next, it shows the important landmarks made by works devoted to monastic affiliations, and finally, it shows the promising perspectives offered by the surprisingly extensive Hungarian literature on the confraternities of mendicant orders between the 13th and 16th centuries.Cairn free access
