Summary/Abstract: Although it is not easy to offer a complete and comprehensive account of a work such as the Lives of the Saints, this paper is an attempt to shed light on the author and his unique work. The assessment of the author, and of such a complex work, must be undertaken from several perspectives and aspects: theological, historical, literary, poetic, liturgical, dogmatic, homiletic and linguistic. Therefore, a multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach is necessary. A response to each of these aspects requires, on the other hand, a multilateral approach. It is to be hoped that studies of this kind, if not already, will soon appear. All the above aspects of the study of the Lives of the Saints imply an insight into the personality and work of the writer himself - the Venerable Justin of Ćelije. Father Justin is above all an ascetic monk, a theologian, a worshiper and an erudite of wide education. This work is initial and, hopefully should inspire and lead to comprehensive analyses of the hagiographic work of the Venerable Justin.
