As a little boy, his father died so he was raised by his uncle, a priest from Pag, who taught him how to read and write. He attended the municipal school in the town of Pag. After 1590 he studied at the Illyric College in Loreto near Ancona, in the Papal States (in modern Italy), managed by the Jesuits.
As a gifted and industrious pupil, he was sent to further studies in Rome in 1593, where he joined the Society of Jesuits in 1595. He made a priest in 1606.
Bartul Kašić lived in Dubrovnik from 1609 to 1612.In 1612/13, disguised as a merchant, he went on a mission to the Ottoman provinces of Bosnia, Central Serbia and eastern Slavonia which he reported to the pope. From 1614 to 1618 he was the Croatian confessor in Loreto.
He went on his second mission in 1618/19. In old age, he described both missions in his incomplete autobiography. His second stay in Dubrovnik lasted from 1620 to 1633. Then he returned to Rome, where he spent the rest of his life.
It qualified Kašić for further work in the area of Croatian language.
He published Institutionum linguae illyricae libri duo ("The Structure of the Illyrian Language in Two Books") in Rome in 1604. It was the first Slavic language grammar.
In almost 200 pages and two parts ("books"), he provided the basic information on the Croatian language and explained the Croatian morphology in great detail.
In 1622, Kašić started translating the New Testament into the local Slavic vernacular – more precisely, the dialect of Dubrovnik.
In 1625, he was in charge of translating the entire Bible.
Ritual rimski covering more than 400 pages, was the most famous Kašić's work, which was used by all Croatian dioceses and archdioceses except for the one in Zagreb, which also accepted it in the 19th century.
The King James Version, which has had a profound impact on English, was published in 1611, two decades before Kašić's translation. It has 12,143 different words.
Kašić's Croatian translation, even incomplete (some parts of the Old Testament are missing), has around 20,000 different words – more than the English version and even more than the original Bible!
Bartul Kašić died in Rome in 1650 at the age of 75.
He was signed as Bartul Kašić from Pag ( Bartul Kašić Pažanin ).
Our School got its name after that great man more than 25 years ago.
