In addition to his ascetical writings, the Franciscan Friar published several literary works. His most notable contribution was the dramatic-epic poem "The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Lamentation of His Mother," which depicted the suffering and sacrifice of Christ. He also wrote a collection of "Spiritual Songs" and translated the "Epistles of the Apostles and the Gospel" into Serbo-Croatian (Venice, 1773; Rome, 1784).
Correspondence and Legacy
