Summary/Abstract: This paper describes in full and systematically the features of the Albanian demonstrative pronouns in one of the most important works of XVI century Albanian writings, such as Cuneus Prophetarum (1685) of Pjeter Bogdani. Specifically, in the descriptive plan there are grammatical features of the demonstrative pronouns, as shown in this old text written in Albanian. Certain demonstrative forms of demonstrative pronouns, as if to try to shed more light on them, through comparative methods, are seen in the same way as in the other older texts of the previous authors, as well as their proven forms in Albanian language today. In the paper, the full set of case paradigms are observed as distance demonstratives: aj, ajo, ata, ato, as well as the demonstratives of proximity: ky, këjo, këta, këto, as well as articled demonstrative pronoun i atillë, by determining the denseness of using their forms and the suffix formations where and when they are encountered in CP. The research corpus is derived from Anila Omar's critical publication, Pjetër Bogdani, Cuneus Prophetarum (Çeta e profetëve), Tiranë, 2005. As research results, it turns out to be that in the case of both types of demonstratives, the paradigm reports and morphological oppositions of gender and number appear in full in CP.
