Iva MANDUŠIĆ
Abstract
In this article the author delivers bibliography of the Croatian confraternity of St. Jerome in Rome. This confraternity gathered Croatian community (pilgrims, students, refugees…) since the fifteenth century. Moreover, the confraternity took care about church, hostel, hospital and chapter that were founded under its auspice. Because of the reorganization in 1901 the confraternity ended its activities, and its property came under the protection of the Institute of St. Jerome. During the turbulent post-war period between 1945 and 1957 the confraternity was temporarily reactivated offering the shelter to the Croatian refugees. Existence of this institution is mentioned in a great number of works, especially regarding the period of its reorganisation at the beginning of the twentieth century. The main purpose of this article was to sort out the publications concerning only the work of
the confraternity of St. Jerome.
