Abstract
The paper, based on published and unpublished sources, presents the cooperation between Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer and the Dominican Anđeo Marija Miškov. We talk about the beginnings of their correspondence, about their first meeting in Rome and about the various forms of cooperation that developed between them. We present data about unsuccessful attempts by Strossmayer to bring the Dominicans to Đakovo, about missions that Miškov and his brothers held in the Diocese of Bosnia or Đakovo and Srijem, about the idea of South Slavic unity that both Strossmayer and Miškov supported, about Strossmayer’s financial support for the founding of the Congregation of Holy Guardian Angels of Dominican Sisters, and the building of their monastery in Korčula, and about some other minor forms of cooperation. Finally, we show Miškov’s actions on the occasion of Strossmayer’s death. Since the Croatian public is not that familiar with Miškov, a brief overview of his life is given at the beginning of the paper.
