The research adopts a methodologically innovative approach in which Bene\u0161a\u2019s life and activities are not examined within the framework of a conventional biography, but rather serve as an analytical point of departure for exploring broader diplomatic, cultural, and religious relations between the Republic of Dubrovnik and the Holy See in the early modern period. In this perspective, Bene\u0161a is interpreted as a mediator of identity and an agent of cultural transfer, and the study is positioned within contemporary historiographical approaches to transnational and diplomatic history.
