Summary/Abstract: Pjetër Bogdani remains one of the leading and influential figures in the history of Albanian culture, in the history of Albanian identity and literature. In this study I have discussed the cultural and spiritual profile of Pjetër Bogdani, the significance of his work and the impact that his book has had on the historical and later historical currents. Also, in this study I have analyzed the importance of his work in attempting to protect the Albanian people from foreign influences and rulings; the religious and social situation in Kosovo according to Bogdani's historical correspondence, then Bogdani's collaboration with Cardinal Gregorio Barbarigo to publish the great work "The Prophet's Cache", the historical, cultural and spiritual values of this literary masterpiece. Thus, his work is a cornerstone in the history of Albanian culture, as it is a major work fought for the liberation of the Albanian people from double bondage: ignorance, darkness, primitivism, through religious and national awakening, as a precondition for self-awareness.
