ÀRBÊRIA IN THE CENTURIES OF EUROPEAN HUMANISM ACCORDING THE STATUTES CONFIRMED IN THE EPOCH OF GJERGJ KASTRIOT

Summary/Abstract: I was suggested to participate in the second session of the International Albanological Conference in the format lectio magistralis. For some days and weeks, I was somewhat undecided whether to hold this presentation, or another one. Decades ago, since my dissertation on the Albanian heroic legendary epos, I have always posed the question why the cycle of Gjergj Kastrioti-Scanderbeg was preserved by the Arbëresh people in an almost complete way, while among the Albanians on the other side of the Adriatic the unwritten memory that kept him alive was only through legends, if we would have been served with the title of Marin Sirdani's deed; or in the post-Arbër epoch Albania's onomastics and toponymy.
