STUDIUESIT E HUAJ PËR EPOSIN E KRESHNIKËVE: VUK KARAXHIQ

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to take into consideration a huge problem regarding the denial of Albanian Epos existence. This problem started in 1830 and it was known as the beginnings of a bad scientific period in epicology, or the beginning of Vuk Karaxhiq ( known scholar l'rom Serbia) denial. Vuk’s denial re- appeared in the European scientific forums in the years of Albanian League of Prizren by Auguste Dozon, and it is misused by different scholars during these two centuries in Balkan and around it, especially in the first half of the XX century. Henrik Baric, Alois Shmaus in 1937 and scholar Hasan Kaleshi in 1951 do not agree with Vuk about the oral long epic. Dragutin Micovic declares that Vuk had knowledge about Albanian front warriors, characters in Serb epic, since 1814, such as Musa Arbanasi in his volume of folk songs published in Vienna Malaprostonarodna slaveno-serbska pesnarica (collections of simple slavic- serb folk songs) Although his important contribution for the epic-historic song, as his 12 songs volume has been considered as the most ancient collection of folk songs in Northern Albania, together with the huge damage for the denial of legendary epic songs, it is worth mentioning that Vuk has thought about the compilation of a dictionary of Albanian language and of a grammatical book in 1826 and in 1936 he visited some known Albanian cities Tivar and Shkodër. It is as well important his contribution for the collection of ethnographic data for geg and tosk, in the focus of scholar Ami Bouë, in 1839.
