Andrea Daniel di Raunnoch kao pićanski biskup (1670. – 1686.)

In this prosopographical text, the author sets forth biographical data on Andrea Daniel di Raunnoch, primarily in the context of his office of the Bishop of Pićan in the period 1670–1686. The Bishop’s activity in the pastoral field has been described, and his closest associates – priests presented. The staff at the Pićan bishop home, the members of the cathedral chapter, and the priesthood hierarchy during Raunnoch’s Bishop’s office have been reconstructed. Due to the preserved condition of the material, particularly of parish registers, the focus has been reduced to two parishes as study examples – Gračišće and Lindar, where the number and the structure of the pastoral staff have been indicated. The text further tackles the Bishop’s connection with the social elite of the wider Pazin area through his role of bestowing the sacrament of baptism. The majority of the data listed in the article have been studied in many archival institutions (State Archive in Pazin; Parish Archive in Pićan; Ljubljana Archdiocesan Archive; Archives of the Republic of Slovenia; Croatian State Archive; Vatican Apostolic Archive; His torical Archives Pontificium Collegium Germanicum Hungaricum), while a smaller number thereof has been quoted from literature. Raunnoch’s office in Pićan was heavily marked by his illness, from which he had suffered from his inauguration to his death.
