Summary/Abstract: The author deals with the theoretical principles of epistolography and classifications of 127 letters written by Stefan Mitrov Ljubisa, 125 of which were published in the Fourth Book of his Collected Works (1988). Having presented the views and interpretations of this problem offered by other authors R. Rotković, S. Jelušića, M. Medigović, the author gives his own classifications and interpretations. Respecting the chronological-textual (syntagmatic) principle as well as the vertical (paradigmatic) principle, and their purpose, the author divides Ljubiša's letters into: intimate (family letters), public (official letters) and special general purpose letters. Due to the impossibility of dividing letters into "pure forms", the author proposes two more groups: "mixed" and "literary" letters. And those two new groups pointed out the importance of the hybridization process of languages, genres and cultures. Epistolography is often a hybrid form because it usually occurs in symbiosis with travel biographies, diaries, essays and other prose.
