Dominik Andrijašević (Italian: Domenico Andreassi, Latin: Dominicus Andriasius/Dominicus Andreassius; 1572–1639), was a Ragusan Franciscan friar who served as the Catholic Bishop of Skadar (Scutari) (1622–24) and later Mostar (1637).

Life

Born in 1572 in Orahov Do[1] in Herzegovina, Andrijašević was a resident in Ragusa (Dubrovnik).[2]

He was sent with Damjan Ljubibratić several times to the Popes with petitions of aid in Balkan uprisings.

In 1608, Andrijašević arrived in Ragusa (Dubrovnik) from Spain with letters for Grdan.[3]

In 1624, the Ottomans expelled him from Scutari.[4]
