Filip Lastrić

Filip Lastrić (born Martin Jakovović; 1700 – 19 April 1783), also known as Philippus de Occhievia, was a Bosnian[1] writer and friar of the Franciscan Province of Bosna Argentina.

Lastrić was born in a hamlet called Lastre, from which his cognomen derives, part of the village Oćevija near Vareš in the Sanjak of Bosnia, Ottoman Empire.

[4] Thanks to Lastrić's insistence in Rome, Bosna Srebrena was restored to the rank of province by Pope Clement XIII on 15 December 1758, a year after it was demoted to a custody due to the low number of monasteries and friars.

[3] The surviving works by Filip Lastrić include a philosophy manual (preserved in manuscript) composed during his stay in Požega, four sermon collections, as well as an overview of the history of Bosna Srebrena.

[3] Lastrić also assisted foreigners in their writings about Bosnia, such as the Venetian Jesuit Daniele Farlati (Illyricum sacrum) and the Hungarian Piarist Elek Horányi.
