The written sources were mainly preserved outside Albania, in different states, in many archives, in public, private or church libraries, and mostly in foreign languages. One of the richest Middle Age archives (especially for the XII-XV century) concerning the history of Albanians in particular and of the Western Balkan in general, is the State Archive in Dubrovnik,1 due to the important role that Dubrovnik had in economic, social and financial relations with neighbouring countries. The funds of this archive contain numerous documents, acts and testaments, of a public or private character, about Albanians and territories they lived.

Dr. TEUTA SHALA-PELI Assistant Professor Institute of History "Ali Hadri", Prishtina Kosovo Abstract: There are many foreign scholars who with their writings have contributed to the brightening of the life and work of Gjergj Kastriot- Skanderbeg. Interesting information backed by facts and scientific arguments, is also brought to us by the researcher Kostandin Jirecek. Although his works are not devoted directly to Skanderbeg, however Jerichek in his writings, by treating the history of the Albanian people, has shown an interest in the figure of Gjergj Kastriot-Skënderbeu, providing us with important notions about the life and work of our hero, information which are built on the basis of archival resources. Since we are at the 100th anniversary of the death of Constantin Jirecek and the 550th anniversary of the death of Skanderbeg, we found it reasonable to point out the scientific contribution of this scholar given to the treatment of the figure of our hero. To understand the scientific contribution of Kostandin Jirecek, to illuminate the image of Gjergj Kastriot-Skanderbeg and his age, we will undertake a scientific analysis of the notices that the scholar in question offers to the Kastrioti family in general starting with his grandfather Pal Kastrioti to continue with the information on Gjon Kastriot, Gjergj Kastriot-Skanderbeg's activity before 1443, for his wars against the Ottoman attacks, relations with neighboring countries such as Venice, Naples, Ragusa, then with local feudals, and issues which are related to the life and work of Gjergj Kastriot- Skanderbeg, and ultimately trying to draw a conclusion on the value and significance of the works of the scholar in question about Skanderbeg and his age.

  • Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova 29 Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by AAB College repository Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova 29 Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova Jahja Drançolli* Abstract In the present study it is examined the issue of Illyrian- Albanian continuity in the areal of Kosova, a scientific problem, which, due to the reasons of daily policy, has extremely become exploited (harnessed) until the present days. The politicisation of the ancient history of Kosova begins with the Eastern Crisis, a time when the programmes of Great-Serb aggression for the Balkans started being drafted. These programmes, inspired by the extra-scientific history dressed in myths, legends and folk songs, expressed the Serb aspirations to look for their cradle in Kosova, Vojvodina. Croatia, Dalmatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Montenegro. Such programmes, based on the instrumentalized history, have always been strongly supported by the political circles on the occasion of great historical changes, that have overwhelmed the Balkans. Key Words: Dardania and Dardans in antiquity, Arbers and Kosova during the Middle Ages, geopolitical, ethnic, religious and cultural concepts, which are known in the sources of that time followed by a chronological development. The region of Kosova preserves archeological monuments from the beginnings of Neolith (6000-2600 B.C.). Since that time the first settlements were constructed, including Tjerrtorja (Prishtinë), Glladnica (Graçanicë), Rakoshi (Istog), Fafos and Lushta (Mitrovicë), Reshtan and Hisar (Suharekë), Runik (Skenderaj) etc. The region of Kosova has since the Bronze Age been inhabited by Dardan Illyrians; the territory of extension of this region was much larger than the present-day territory of Kosova.

  • 'In Th'armor of a Pagan Knight': Romance and Anachronism East Of
    194 Issues in Review ‘In th’armor of a Pagan knight’: Romance and Anachronism East of England in Book V of The Faerie Queene and Tamburlaine Elizabethan England’s relationship with the Muslim world poses special chal- lenges for cultural history. Modern critical paradigms, concerned as they are with issues of empire and colonialism, often have difficulty conceptualizing an England whose imperial project had barely begun and whose ‘colonial’ discourse was, in Daniel Vitkus’s words, ‘merely the premature articulation of a third-rank power’.1 England’s national achievements lagged far behind not only European rivals like Spain but also powerful Muslim empires like Otto- man Turkey, which challenged the power of all Europe. This combination of rising nationalism, extensive cross-cultural contact, and limited geopolitical and economic power created a public appetite for stories of heroic English- men and Christians who resisted the wealth and power of the foreign others they constructed. Popular pamphlets and intelligences told of Christian cap- tives on the Barbary Coast who had bravely resisted conversion or pulled off daring escapes. In the theatre, as Nabil Matar has observed, playwrights ‘took up the cudgel against the Muslims and appealed to a populace that felt threatened by, and confused at, the appearance of the Muslim Other in their metropolis, in their harbors, and across their Mediterranean and Atlan- tic trading routes’.2 There was, however, another means of negotiating the tensions created by the Muslim other. Spenser, Marlowe in Tamburlaine, and other writers of the period explored the Islamic challenge by displacing it into the space of romance and classical literature, containing it in an imaginative realm drawn from their syncretic humanist educations and constructed out of elements drawn from a wide span of history and literature.

  • Shqipëria Në Kohën E Gjergj Kastriotit- Skënderbeut (1443 - 1468)
    SHQIPËRIA NË KOHËN E GJERGJ KASTRIOTIT- SKËNDERBEUT (1443 - 1468) 1. RIMËKËMBJA E SHTETIT TË KASTRIOTËVE DHE FORMIMI I LIDHJES SHQIPTARE TË LEZHËS Jeta dhe veprimtaria e Gjergj Kastriotit-Skënderbeut deri më 1443 Gjergj Kastrioti lindi rreth vitit 1405. Ishte fëmija i parafundit në familjen me shumë fëmijë të Gjonit e të Vojsavës. Këta kishin katër djem (Stanishën, Reposhin, Konstandinin e Gjergjin) dhe pesë vajza (Marën, Jellën, Angjelinën, Vlajkën e Mamicën). Kur lindi Gjergji, i ati, Gjon Kastrioti, ishte sundimtar i një shteti të rëndësishëm, që shtrihej së paku nga rrethinat e Prizrenit e të Tetovës në lindje deri në detin Adriatik në perëndim. Qendra administrative e tij duhet të ketë qenë Prizreni. Këtu duhet të ketë lindur edhe Gjergji. Që kur Gjergji ishte fëmijë, familja e Kastriotëve i ndjeu rrjedhimet shkatërrimtare të pushtimeve osmane. Dokumentet tregojnë se në vitin 1409 Gjon Kastrioti ishte detyruar t'u dorëzonte peng osmanëve një nga djemtë e tij, ndoshta Stanishën, dhe më pas edhe djalin e vogël, Gjergjin. Ky u dorëzua si peng rreth moshës nëntëvjeçare, kur osmanët pushtuan Krujën (në fillim të vitit 1415) që ishte në kufi me zotërimet e Kastriotëve. Dërgimin e Gjergjit të vogël në oborrin osman rreth moshës nëntëvjeçare, e dëshmojnë, pavarësisht nga njëri-tjetri, burime historike bashkëkohore ose pak më të vona, vendase e të huaja. Këtë e pohojnë autorët e vjetër shqiptarë, veprat e të cilëve shërbejnë si burime më të rëndësishme për njohjen e historisë së Shqipërisë të shek. XV, si Marin Barleci, Marin Beçikemi, Gjon Muzaka, Dhimitër Frëngu. Edhe në jetëshkrimin më të hershëm për Gjergj Kastriotin, të hartuar rreth viteve 1481- 1482 prej Martin Segonit, tregohet se ai u dërgua i vogël peng, u rrit dhe u edukua pranë oborrit të sulltanit.

  • Heraldry New.Pmd
    189 HERALDRY 2.12.HERALDRY By Jaho Brahaj The discipline of heraldry has its roots in the 11th century in Europe, the same time the regulations emerged on the display of military guns, seals, feudal flags, countries and military coalitions. This discipline was named “Heraldry” after the name of the person, whose job was to inform the neighbors, their authorities and the feudal to whom it served, to his provinces and to the king or the emperor from whom he depended. The herald’s job was to manage the ceremonies of the royals, to keep and collect the drawings of the emblems, the seals and flags to the person he served. Researchers agree that in the Balkans, heraldry was practiced by the Arbër since its beginnings as a result of their contacts with the European pilgrim armies that landed along the Albanian coast in the 11th century. This is ac- cepted by heraldry researchers as a fact, and is also sup- ported by monumental heraldry testimonies. The well known Croatian researcher Milan Shuflai, who specialized in Albanian studies, writes: “In the Alba- nian lands, heraldry was used early in ceremonies and chancellors…since their contact with the Anjou and the French knights…” The heraldic emblem of the Arbër State was dis- covered in Gëziq (Mirditë) and dates from the 12th century. From the same period is the old emblem of Muzakajve that displays a water stream and two torches. During these centuries, heraldry was supported in Albania, also Emblem of the Arbër State from wealthy individuals and princes as well as by Arber State insti- tutions, cities, social, religious and artisan societies.
