Summary/Abstract: The author gives preliminary information about the Gospel Korcha 92, kept in fund 488 of the State Archive in Tirana, which comprises 100 Greek manuscripts and 17 fragments from the 6th to the 19th c ., still little-known to the scholars . Ms Korcha 92, in particular, is one of those manuscripts that have not been stud- ied by Erich Trapp and johannes Koder, who worked in the mid-60s of the 20th c . in Tirana and described 25 manuscripts and fragments altogether . The Albanian scholars T . Popa and Sh . Sinani, as well as R. Mullen, have assumed for the Gospel dates of origin ranging between the 13th and the 15th c ., whereas the present article is arguing for its mid-tenth century origin on the basis of the script (minuscule bou- letée type), the writing in red ink, and the illumination and miniatures .
