Biography[]
Fra Augustin Miletić was born 16 February 1763 in Fojnica in Eyalet of Bosnia. He entered the Franciscan order after ending the primary education in Fojnica. He finished high school in Graz and studied philosophy and theology in Italy. When he finished his studies he became a professor of philosophy and theology in Brescia and Padua. Later he became a bishop of Grgo Ilijić (1798–1813), and in the same year, he became also the Apostolic administration of the Apostolic Vicariate in Bosnia. After the bishop Grgo Ilijić's death, he was appointed bishop of the same Vicariate (1813–1831). Fra Augustin Miletić died in Livno 1831, during one of his many pastoral visits.
The chronicle Fra Mato Mitić wrote about Augustin Miletić in following way: "All I can say, while some prelate of this kind among Bosnians come, many centuries will pass away."[1]
