Jeronim Trogiranin OFM (Latin : Hieronymus de Tragurio) was a prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the bishop of Duvno from 1439 until his resignation in 1459.
Jeronim, a Franciscan, was, according to Dominik Mandić, born in Trogir, [1] and was appointed as the bishop of Duvno by Pope Eugene IV on 22 April 1439. [2] The episcopal seat had been vacant for 27 years. The diocese was administered by its previous bishop George of Imotski, who had been translated to Hvar until his death in 1428 [3] and subsequently by Petar Tilikonis, the bishop of Makarska. [4] Jeronim was consecrated on 16 February 1440. After twenty years in the episcopal chair, he resigned around 1459. [2] [5] Ante Škegro considers that around forty leaders and other members of the Bosnian Church, expelled by the Catholic Bosnian king Thomas in 1459, found protection and refuge in the domains of Stjepan Vukčić Kosača, who controlled the territory of the Diocese of Duvno. This, coupled with frequent Ottoman incursions in the area, was, according to Škegro, a possible reason for Jeronim's resignation. [6] The last document mentioning Jeronim was his will, written in Omiš in 1465, in which he left all his possessions to Juraj Cesarović, a parish priest from Nerežiće on the isle of Brač, under the condition that he would take care of him until his death and provide him with a proper burial.
