Since the fifteenth century the interest on proverbs is emphasized, when it is also separated as a particular field called paremiography and paremiology, which implicates collection, evidence and the study of proverbs. In sixteenth and seventeenth century the interest for this field increases distinctly. Exactly in this time, in 1635 our writer and lexicographer Frang Bardhi, in his dictionary “Dictionarium Latino- Epirotikum” dedicates a particular chapter the edition of proverbs or as he calls them Albanian proverbs. As much it is of particular relevance the registration of these proverbs as a testimony of the beginning of our paremiography, the same relevant are the studies following as a testimony of paremiological approach to these oral compositions in Albanian folkloristic in general. The paper aims a chronological review of this ancient genre of oral creativity from their registration to their study.
