Divković was born in Jelaške, a village in what is now the Olovo association in what was then Eyâlet, Bosnia . Nothing is known about his life except what he left on the covers of the works and his dedications. Matija Divković wrote in Sarajevo.

He joined the Bosnian province of Bosna Srebrena of the Franciscan Order, probably in the nearest monastery in Olovo, and was taught there. He continued his education in Italy , but eventually returned to Bosnia to work there; In 1609 he is mentioned as a priest in Sarajevo , where he worked as a chaplain . Matija performed the same function in Olovo and Kreševo . The Italian and Latin language dominated Divković excellent. He founded a religious study of theology for the offspring of the Bosnian Franciscan Province. His works were translations, revisions and compilations from medieval and theological literature in the period after the Council of Trent , but also diverse poetic and dramatic contributions, which he selected from the medieval Dalmatian - Dubrovnik literary tradition. These works were one of the reasons for the great popularity of Divković's anthologies (27 pieces). All his publications are printed in Bosančica , and these books are the first of their kind. His publications were not only widespread among the "normal" populations in Bosnia, Slavonia and Dalmatia, but also among the Glagoljica writers in the Republic of Ragusa. Existing copies attest to this.

Divković's first work was Christian Teaching for the Slavic Peoples . In 1611 in Venice he was the first to form the letters of the Bosnian Cyrillic and use them to print his works.

Divković came to a monastery in Kreševo in 1612 and began to write one of his most important books, which he completed in Olovo in 1614 . Matija Divković published his works with the support of Bartul Kačić-Žarković , a bishop from Makarska .

Matija Divković is considered to be the founder of literature in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He died in Olovo on August 21, 1631 . His date of death is confirmed by the Necrologium Bosnae Argentinae . The necrologium is kept in the monastery in Sutjeska.

Reception and aftermath

D. Brozović assess Divković's printed matter as part of the "golden age of Croatian literature, the 16th century ". The majority of literary historians attribute it to the age of the literary Counter-Reformation or the Catholic Restoration. His work had a great influence on poets , writers and preachers in the 17th and 18th centuries, but lexicographers (A. Della Bella, J. Jurin, J. Stulli) also adopted numerous terms and expressions from Matija's works.
