Abstract
After the liberation of Slavonija from Ottomans in 1699 there was still a lot of work to do on the improvement of the living conditions of its inhabitants. Considering their pastoral work Franciscans were constantly trying to help the people of Slavonia. As educated
people Franciscans persevered in teaching illiterate people of Slavonia which resulted in printing numerous religious publications. One of such Franciscans who made his contribution to these 18th century publications was also Jerolim Lipovčić from Požega. Aim of
this paper is to present one segment of his work, specifically his book of prayers entitled Stazica duhovna (1767), because he received little attention from scholars and is usually only included in various biographies and bibliographies. Stazica duhovna is hence typologically determined, its content and composition analyzed, and compared with other 18th century books of prayers.
