		From the early stages of its written form, Albanian language is proved to be written in two dialects, in the North dialect (gegërisht) and in the South one (toskërisht), and in two alphabets, the Latin and the Greek, which testifies that Albanian culture was under the influence of both Latin and Greek culture.
		“Missal” by Gjon Buzuku is the translation of the main parts of the catholic liturgy into Albanian; it contains the services of the main religious holidays of the year, comments from the book of prayers, parts from the Testament as well as parts from the ritual and catechism.
		His fundamental works are as follows: "Etymological Studies in the Albanian Field" in seven volumes, I "Introduction to the History of the Albanian Language", II "The Historical Phonetics" (1958), "The Missal by Gjon Buzuku" (1968), "The Albanians between the West and the East" (1944).

		Gjon Buzuku's “Missal”, the first book in the Albanian language, was discovered in Rome by one of the writers from the north of Albania, Gjon Nikollë Kazazi; but the book was lost and recovered again in 1909 by the bishop Pal Skeroi, researcher and explorer of antique texts.
		The “Missal” by Gjon Buzuku is written in the northern dialect (gegërisht), in the Latin alphabet, and is provided with some special letters.
		Eqrem Çabej, who had made a thorough study of Gjon Buzuku's book, has reached the conclusion that its language “is not an uncultivated land”.

		Gjon Buzuku, a northern Albanian Catholic cleric, who probably lived in or around Venice, was the author of the first book written and published in Albanian, a 188-page translation of the Catholic missal.
		The scant information we do possess about the author comes from the colophon (postscript) of the missal which Buzuku wrote himself in Albanian, not unaware of the historic dimensions of his undertaking.

	A Brief History of the Albanian Language
		Unfortunately, there are no written documents to prove this theory so the connection between the two languages is only indirectly supported through the names of people, places and historical studies.
		The first document in written Albanian dates from the 16th century when the book, Meshari by Gjon Buzuku, was published in 1555.
		During the middle-ages, there was a large exodus of Albanians into Greece, where today, an archaic dialect of Albanian is still spoken.

		Buzuku brought into the Albanian language the Catholic liturgy, trying to do for the Albanian what Luther did for the German language.
		Buzuku, published by him in 1555, is considered to date as the first work of written Albanian.
		The refined level of the language and the stabilised orthography must be a result of an earlier tradition of writing Albanian, a tradition that is not known.

		TIRANA, Albania (CWN) - Officials of the Vatican Library dispelled fears that a monumental 16th century Albanian book was lost on Wednesday, saying the book just could not be found at the moment, according to the Albanian news agency ATA.
		"Reports that the "Book of Mass' by Gjon Buzuku had been lost were untrue," ATA quoted Leonard Boyle, the Vatican Library prefect, as telling the Albanian embassy in Rome.
		The book is the earliest example of written Albanian, and would be a critical loss of national heritage, although four copies exist in the national library.

	"Under Empty Skies Falconers Weep" by Stephen Schwartz
		The Catholic poet Gjon Sinishta, whom I came to see as my second father, taught me more than anyone else what it means to rescue a culture deemed lost; in his case, that of the Gheg-speaking Albanian Catholics.
		Martin was extremely close to Gjon, as well as to another outstanding Albanian emigre in America, the poet Arshi Pipa (1920-97).
		It was in search of the sources of the wisdom imparted to me by Martin and by Gjon Sinishta, who also became my teacher, that finally, in 1999, I went to the Balkans to live, and to learn the lessons I have tried to impart here.
