Summary/Abstract: Until now it was known that Augustinians were present in Brinje before the Ottoman advances. Historiography has been controversial about the Augustinian presence in Senj. On the basis of sources from the Austrian National Library in Vienna the author provides evidence of the approximate ten-year presence of the members of this order in Senj’s St Nicholas. They arrived in the first half of the 17th century during the episcopate of Ivan Krstitelj Agatić who himself was also an Augustinian. The former Dominican Monastery of St Nicholas, after a short Augustinian presence, was ceded over to the Paulines in 1634.
