Bijanković was born in Split, at the time part of the Republic of Venice to father Dominik from the isle of Šolta and mother Laura née Nadalin, a Venetian.
[1] He finished grammar school and philosophical and theological studies at the Illyrian Academy in his home town, where he was ordained as a priest on 15 June 1669, as a member of the Oratorians.
[3][4] Not long after he received a decree on his appointment, Bijanković went for a visit to the two dioceses, reporting to the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith on their status.
Through his commitment, the Diocese of Makarska received Jesuit missionaries, while his efforts to reorganise the parishes in line with the Council of Trent led him into a dispute with the Franciscans.
[1] Bijanković also administered the Diocese of Duvno and is the most creditable for the conservation of the Catholic population there during the Great Turkish and the Morean War.
[1] Bijanković translated Naredbe od zbora darxave splitske (Orders of the Synod of the Diocese of Split) from Latin.
As a member of the Illyrian Academy, Bijanković wrote a recension for the translation of the work of Dominique Bouhours translated by Ivan Petar Marchi under the title Misli karstjanske za svaki dan od miseca (Christian thoughts for every day in a month), published in Venice in 1704.
