Matija Divković (1563 – 21 August 1631) was a Bosnian Franciscan writer. He is considered to be the founder of the literature of Bosnia and Herzegovina. ==Life== Divković was born in Jelaške near Vareš in the then-Eyalet of Bosnia. He probably joined the Franciscans in the nearest monastery in Olovo and was schooled there. He continued his studies in Italy, but then returned to Bosnia to work there. In 1609 he was a chaplain in Sarajevo. It is plausible that he also performed other duties, since the monasteries of that age usually had schools. It was there that Divković wrote his first work, ''Christian Doctrine for the Slavic People'', and started to translate ''One Hundred Miracles or Signs of the Blessed and Glorious Virgin''. In 1611 Matija Divković traveled to the Republic of Venice, where he first had the letters of Bosnian Cyrillic molded, and then printed both works. In 1612, Divković came to the monastery of Kreševo and started writing his greatest and most important book, ''Divković's Words on Sunday Gospel All Year Round'', completed in Olovo (1614). It was also printed in ''bosančica'' in Venice 1616 (2nd edition in 1704), as well as '' Christian Doctrine with Many Spiritual Matters'' (1616, several later editions).〔 Matija Divković published his works with the advice and support of Bartul Kačić-Žarković, bishop of Makarska (1615–1645), who managed some parishes in Bosnia. There were also links between Bosnian Franciscans and the Franciscan monasteries around Makarska (Živogošće, Zaostrog, Makarska). Nothing else is known about Divković's life. He died in Olovo on 21 August 1631.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matija Divković」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
