Rreth historisë së librit Shqip dhe kulturës së njohjes së tij në një kontekst zhvillimesh evropiane (shekujt XVI-XVII)
About the History of the Books in Albanian and the Culture of Their Recognition in a Context of European Developments (XVI-XVII Centuries)

Summary/Abstract: In this essay we took in consideration issues of the Albanian language book history and of a knowing prospective of it in the context of the concrete Europian developments of XVI and XVII century. Samples of ecclesiastic books, that were written and spread widely, before and after Council of Trent (1545-1563, found afterlight in the thematic aspect in concrete texts and in certain works of ancient Albanian literature, part of them shows contiguity with thematic publications of the second half of XVI century and the first decades of XVII century. Through the recognition of the ecclestiastic books editions that were predestined for a daily praxis of lithurgy, we can distinguish coincidences and differences, especially in the texts contained in the acts of ancient Albanian literature, including those of Gjon Buzuku’s book, known for the content’s complexity and for the lack of concrete data that could lead closer to the compiler and to his editors. The history of Albanian scripture could be enriched substantially through tracking in a panoramic framework, including not a few tipographs and editors that have had an apogee (heyday) and a more specialized orientation of their editorial activity in the XVI-XVII centuries. Actors of a cultural environment, enriched significantly owing to typography technology, typographs, publishers and editors remain important factors of the developments that took place in this period of time.
