Mrazović is known in literary annals as a Serbian education reformer who lived and worked in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Serb and Romanian territories of today"s Serbian Vojvodina and Romanian Banat. He also founded Norma, a teacher training college in Sombor in 1787 before another school was opened in 1812 in Szentandre called Regium Pedagogium Nationis Illiricae (Preparadija) which eventually moved back to Sombor again in 1816. Ten years later, Mrazović wrote the second book on logic in Serbian in a similar manner, entitled "Logic, or Reasoning", completed in 1826, but the book was never published since he died.
Aside from Pavle Julinac, remembered as the first to translate from French, other translators of the period were Gligorije Trlajic, Nikola Lazarevic, Atanasije Stojković, and Avram Mrazović.
Mrazović translated the French work of Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, and the Latin of Ovid, Cicero, Virgil, Horace, and the Greek of Aristotle.
