Biography

On 10 November 1631, Giovanni Thomas Marnavich was appointed during the papacy of Pope Urban VIII as Bishop of Bosnia.[1][4][3] On 23 November 1631, he was consecrated bishop by Luigi Caetani, Cardinal-Priest of Santa Pudenziana, with Erasmo Paravicini, Bishop of Alessandria, and Bartol Kačić, Bishop of Makarska, serving as co-consecrators.[4] He served as Bishop of Bosnia until his death in 1635[3] or 1639.[4]

In 1631, Marnavich published a pamphlet that Albanian national hero Scanderbeg was not an Albanian but rather a Slav. His claim was refuted by Frang Bardhi in his The Apology of Scanderbeg, published in Venice in 1636.
