Abstract
The study reveals details about the Synod of Zadar Diocese that convened on 25 September 1598 and was part of the eight-year pastoral activities of arch-bishop Minuccio de Minucci. Inspired by the spirit of the Trident Council, immediately after his arrival to Zadar, the arch-bishop wanted to get acquainted with the situation in his diocese, so he visited local parishes, and two years later he organized a synod. The conclusions of this synod reflected the post-Trident reform of the ecclesiastical practices in Zadar, which was attempted already in the times of the previous arch-bishop Muzio Callini (1555–1566)
with two diocesan synods (1564 and 1566). But this reform became reality only after the later synods from the second half of the sixteenth century.
