Byzantine monasteries in medieval Hungary have attracted the attention of many scholars for more than a century now. They undoubtedly represent one of the most vivid representations of the influence of Eastern Roman Empire on medieval Hungarian state, especially in the period up to the Tartar invasion of Hungary in 1241–1242. Still, there are some questions that need to be examined. The aim of this paper is to attempt to provide a list of all possible Byzantine monasteries in medieval Hungary, with some of them that are sometimes omitted in the historiography, like for instance that in Sremska Mitrovica (ancient Sirmium, medieval Szávaszentdemeter) or Dombó. On the other hand, this paper tries to arise and discuss questions whether have some of the earlier historiographic conclusions on monasteries such as Dunapentele or the caves of Tihany have confirmation in the written source material of the time.
