Pavao Posilović (1600-before 1657) was a Bosnian Franciscan, writer and bishop.

Life

Pavao was born in Glamoč, Tropolje. He entered the Franciscan order in Visovac and then went to study in Italy. After graduating in philosophy and theology, Pavao returned to the Franciscan Province of Bosna Srebrena. In 1642 he was appointed Bishop of Skradin. After 1644 he was administrator of several dioceses in Bosnia and Dalmatia that have fallen under Ottoman rule, as well as apostolic vicar in Slavonia.

Works

Pavao wrote two didactic works in Croatian Cyrillic:

  • Cviet od koristih duhovnih i tilesnie, izvaden iz jezika latinskoga u jezili ilirisčki aliti slovinski (Venice, 1647)
  • Naslagjenje duhovno (Venice, 1639; 1682).[2][3]
