Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the morphological and word-formation patterns of adjectives in Pjeter Bogdani's "Çeta e profetëve". In the morphological aspect, the structural features of the adjectives are described, and consequently, according to the formal morphological plane, they are systematized into two paradigms that contradict each other namely articled and non-articled adjectives. In the paper, all cases of use of both types of adjectives are highlighted, structural features are presented, and on the basis of the statistical data, the density of their use is determined. In addressing these issues, the problem of determining the source and the formation comes at a surface. The latter issue raises the need to scrutinize the adjectives from the perspective of word formation, systematizing them in paradigms depending on the form and the type of formation. Thus, looking at the various forms and means of word formation, one can disclose Bogdani’s tendencies of forming the adjectives, and consequently in the Albanian literature of the late 17th century.
