Summary/Abstract: The author examines the activities of Jesuit local missonaries in northern Croatia. They are active there from 1855 to 1869 and again, just in the Zagreb diocese, from 1895. The author traces the development of Jesuit missions, their organisation, the places they visited, the difficulties they faced, and the social and political influence those missions had. He also describes religious and moral circumstances in which the missionaries operated and focuses on the literary and cultural initiatives of the missionaries, particularly on the foundation of the Croatian Literary Society St. Jerome.
