Petar Runje
Abstract
On the basis of archival sources the author presents minute facts about the priest Andrina Marijić. Andrija’s father was Radoslav the brother of the priest Juraj Zubina. Juraj Zubina, the Glagolitic priest’s grandfather’s brother Peter was also a priest. This is proof that already in the Middle Ages it was a common practice that within certain families some of the children were chosen to enter the clergy and become priests. Andrija Marijić lived in the city of Zadar and served as priest in various churches. He was accepted as a good confessor. He had a solid grounding in material goods and on a number of occasions he showed special gratitude towards his uncle the late Juraj Zubina, the priest “of the Croatian book”. Like his grand-grandfather’s brother Peter and his uncle Juraj Zubina he made a solid income collecting tithes.
