List of djed of the Bosnian Church

This is a list of djed of the Bosnian Church. The title djed (literally "grandfather") was used of the head of the indigenous Bosnian Church from the late 13th century into the 15th.

List of djed
The first twelve names on the list below are found in a single column in Batalo's Gospel, a manuscript made for the Bosnian nobleman Batalo in 1393 and often called Red gospodina Rastudija. They are listed in reverse order, with the name of the incumbent djed Rastudije first followed by his predecessors back to Ratko in the late 13th century. The list does not have dates for their reigns, but a few of them are known from other acts. If the list was complete at the time it was written down, then Ratko was either the first to use the title djed or represents a break in the history of the Bosnian church.


 * Ratko I (probably 1270s)
 * Boleslav
 * Miroslav (fl. 1305×7)
 * Radoslav I (fl. c. 1322)
 * Radoslav II
 * Povržen
 * Dragost
 * Hlapoje
 * Radovan I
 * Radovan II
 * Radoje
 * Rastudije (fl. 1393)
 * Radomir (fl. 1404)
 * Miloje (fl. 1446)
 * Ratko II (fl. c. 1450)

Batalo's other list
Another list, containing 16 names, appears in a column to the left of the list of djed in Batalo's Gospel. This has sometimes been taken for a list of Ratko's predecessors, but it does not line up with known data and how it should be read in relation to the other column is not clear. Three of the names—Dragič, Ljubin and Dražeta—are known from the abjuration of Bilino Polje in 1203, so the list is perhaps a list of revered Bosnian monks (not bishops).

 * Azarija
 * Kukleč
 * Ivan
 * Godin
 * Tišemir
 * Didodrag
 * Bučina
 * Krač
 * Bratič
