INFORMATION ABOUT FATHER GJERGJ FISHTA, ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTS PRESERVED AT THE ARCHIVE OF THE INSTITUTE OF LINGUISTICS AND LITERATURE OF THE ACADEMY OF ALBANOLOGICAL STUDIES

Summary/Abstract: Gjergj Fishta was a Franciscan friar, teacher, writer, translator, playwright, poet, chairman of the Commission for drafting the Albanian alphabet in the Congress of Manastir, member of Albanian delegation to the Paris Peace Conference on 1919, diplomat and envoy in the Balkan Conferences during the years ‘1930, etc. Given the great poetic, cultural and political baggage of Fishta, whose works had been banned by communist dictatorship during 1945-1990 in Albania, this article aims to elaborate the role of archival data as evidence of cultural and historical heritage in relation to the content and management of Gjergj Fishta’s archival fond. By other words, the primary sources (manuscripts) deriving from his diplomatic activities, insights into world literature and literary translation, features of oral and aesthetic literature and aspects of musicology - are just some of many elements of the fond - and these elements will be elaborated from the perspective of their role in Albanian opinion and their impact on Albanian culture and history. A special treatment will be given to the comparison of archive fond management during the communist period and the period after it, as well as the perspective of preserving and making available these materials to the Albanian public.
