Jakov Lukarević or Lukarić (also Giacomo Luccari or Jacopo de Lucari; c. 1513 – 1575) was a Ragusan Franciscan prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the bishop of Trebinje-Mrkan from 1563 to his death in 1575.
Sopta further suggests that, as it was accustomed for talented boys to be sent to further education in Italy, Lukarević took the same path, and studied law and theology there.
The authorities of the Republic of Ragusa in order to nominate him for the episcopal post praised Lukarić as a well-educated friar who lived chastely, of great erudition and humbleness.
Dolci mentioned Lukarić's one work Libri decretalium (Book of Decrees) which he saw in Daksa library near Dubrovnik.
[3] As the dispute couldn't have been resolved internally, the commoner Franciscans appealed to the General of the Order in Rome Francisco Zamora and several other cardinals, including Rodolfo Pio da Carpi.
The Ragusan authorities then tried to explain to da Carpi in November 1561 why they had to expel three Franciscans, including a commoner Franjo Radeljević, a Pope Sixtus V's protege, and later himself a provincial.
A month later, the Ragusan government again wrote to da Carpi that the reason for the dispute was the intention of the commoner Franciscans to hold an extraordinary chapter before Easter.
In May 1562, the Ragusan authorities sent Jakov de Tudisio to bishop Beccadelli who was a participant at the Council of Trengo to try to resolve the disputes.
Lukarević and other Franciscans, supported by the authorities, refused to report to Zamora as requested by the visiatator, explaining that they were occupied with pastoral work.
Da Fermo continued to insist that the extraordinary chapter must be held and that the accused Franciscans need to report to the General.
The Ragusan authorities then wrote to Amaltheo, the secretary of Cardinal Charles Borromeo that Lukarević, a friar of "excellent life" should be appointed his successor.
