Gerasim Adamović

Gerasim Adamović (Serbian: Герасим Адамовић, Romanian: Gherasim Adamovici; 1733–1796) was Serbia-born Eastern Orthodox bishop of Transylvania (1789–1796) when it was under Austria-Hungary rule.

[1][2][3] Gerasim Adamović was born in a Serbian city of Šikloš (now is Southern Hungary).

[4] During 1779–1783 he was archimandrite of the Sveti Đurađ monastery in Birda (Манастир Светог великомученика Георгија, also Шенђурац на Брзави).

[4] He was one of the signatories of the second, expanded version of Supplex Libellus Valachorum, a petition for Romanians (valachorum) of Transylvania to be equal in political, economic and religious rights to the privileged groups: Transylvanian nobles, Transylvanian Saxons (Germans), and Székelys (Hungarians).

[2][5] Adamović was the last Serbian Bishop of Transylvania.
