This article presents the issue of the transmission of the monastic tradition of the founding of the Hospital of the Holy Spirit in Rome, which is contained in the work Epitome Xenodochii by the Renaissance writer, Wojciech Bazeusz, who published his work in Cracow in 1570.The analysis of the content of the work provides valuable information not so much about the history of the hospital in question, but about the historical memory and charism of the Polish members of The Holy Ghost Order. The primary research problem is the goal of identifying the origins of the order with the founding of the Hospital of the Holy Spirit in Rome in the context of the evolution of the monastic charism of The Hoy Ghost Order. In this work, the description of Adalbert Bazeus is juxtaposed with other known accounts of the issue at hand. The charism of Guido of Montpellier, the founder of the Spiritualists, was also compared with the charism of this order in the early modern era. All of the research carried out served to answer the question of where Bazeus got the version of the legend he handed down, and for what purpose he constructed his narrative in a certain way. The work answers the above questions as completely as possible while illuminating the evolution of the monastic charism of The Holy Ghost Order in Europe from the founding of their order until the Council of Trent.
