Paštrić was born in Poljica in Dalmatia and taken to Split in the first year of his life.[1] In Split baptismal records is recorded that Ivan Paštrić, son of Antonia and Ivanica, was baptized by Andrea Reggio on 15 June 1636.[2]

Paštrić was lecturer at the college of the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith in Rome.[3] In about 1700 donated his rich library to the seminary in Split. The books he donated became a basis of the Split Seminary Library.[3] Jerolim Kavanjin referred to Paštrić as "master of all science".[3]
