Abstract
Pavao of Zagreb, in official records Paulus de Sclavonia, son of Nicholas from Zagreb, a priest of the diocese of Zagreb and a impoverished student of the Sorbonne College, at the faculty of artium of the University of Paris, was mentioned for the first time in 1415, but already during 1418 he had successively received his baccalaureate, licenciate, and doctorate ès-arts. The Anglo-German nation (or house), to which he belonged as a student from southeastern Europe, granted him a franc and four smaller coins in aid to pay the usual fees required while achieving the noted academic titles.
After successfully finishing his studies at the Faculty of Arts, he enrolled in the study of theology, becoming in September 1421 baccalaureus sententiarum, and on the 4th of August, the corporation of the Paris University sent a request to the Emperor Sigismund, the Hungarian-Croatian king, that their member and his subject Pavao son of Nikola be granted a position in the lands of the crown of St. Stephen. Citing the candidate's wish to return to his homeland, the university corporation noted Pavao's intellectual capabilities and moral qualities, and highly recommended him for imperial generosity.
