George Kastriotis Skanderbeg: an unknown biography in greek language (late XVIIIth c. – 1770)

Abstract

The reason I have been invited to this symposium dedicated by Albania to the important personality of George Kastriotis the so-called Scanderbeg is a recent discovery I made, an unknown biography in Greek, half a century older than the one known until now as “the first Greek biography of Kastriotis”, that is the one published in Moscow in 1812, which was also in Greek, but with a different content¹. Therefore, this discovery is the topic of my paper².
