Lovorka ČORALIĆ
Sažetak
Franjo Leonardis (1595-1645) was a descendant of Leonardis and Andreis, noble families of Trogir. He was educated in Rome (studies of philosophy and theology), and in 1625 he obtained his PhD. When he returned to Trogir he became archdeacon and assistant of contemporary bishop Pace Giordano. In 1636 he was sent to Paštrovići (Montenegro) to help the Church reunion with the Orthodox churches. During the following years Leonardis had significant successes regarding the union, and the peak was church union with the Monenegro vladika Mardarije (1640). On the other hand, in spite of the extraordinary efforts, negotiations with Pajsije the patriarch of Peć did not have positive results. In 1644, though he did not want to become prelate, Leonardis was appointed to become archbishop of Bar. However, he did not perform this duty long, since he passed away in Kotor at the beginning of September 1645. In this article, on the basis of the literature and archival documents that are kept in the archives in Zadar and Kotor, the author analyses life path of Franjo Leonardis together with his relations with crucial contemporary persons in ecclesiastical life of Boka kotorska and Albania. Moreover, in the appendix of the article author delivers transcription of Leonardis’s testament and its annex (codicil).
