Ordainments in Zadar at the Beginnings of the 16th Century
Petar Runje
Abstract
On the basis of archival documents the author lists numerous ordainments in the Zadar archbishopric at the beginning of the 16th century. Benedictine and the Poor Clares nuns (sisters) in Zadar had the right to name priests to a particular benefice such as chapels, churches and altars. During a length of years the bishop of Nin Juraj Divinić ordained several hundred clerics for the Nin bishopric itself, for other bishoprics as well as for other monastic orders. Each person who was to be ordained had to have permission to be ordained and the title under which one would be ordained.
