Abstract
Western Croatia, i.e. the area of today’s Rijeka Archdiocese/Metropolis has given a number of famous and meritorious priests, starting with Maurus/Mavro, the first to be known as the bishop (in Istria), in 3rd- 4th century and the first saint. In the 19th century there were more, as pupils of Augustineum/Frintaneum, the most elite and highest ecclesiastical institution of the Habsburg Monarchy, being the basis of later archbishops and bishops. Among them there are also those from the area of today’s Rijeka Archdiocese/Metropolis. There are thirtyeight known figures, some of them archbishops and bishops. This is the first time their names are recorded in one document as the pupils of Augustineum/Frintaneum.
