Summary/Abstract: Both status and name of the Diocese of Đakovo and Srijem are indicative of the history of its Seminary, i.e. the formation of priests. In his monograph Biskupijsko sjemenište u Đakovu (Diocesan Seminary in Đakovo), published in Đakovo in 1911, Matija Pavić provided a detailed description of different periods using the local historical sources. To illustrate various periods, the author of this article presents some new information and unpublished documents from the archives of the nuncio of Vienna, nowadays kept at the Vatican secret archives. In his two letters to the State Secretary, the Viennese nuncio G. Garampi clarifies his opinion explaining the general points of the view of the faction which was against the Illumination and tried to keep the Church autonomy regarding education in the time of absolutism. The Bosnian vicar, unlike the nuncio, managed to get help from the emperor in 1785 for his students who could not continue their studies in Ljubljana. Furthermore, the nuncio showed his disapproval of the foundation and funding of general seminaries in Hungary which later proved to be unsuccessful.
