Scanderbeg in music

Abstract

The History of the Life and Deeds of Scanderbeg, Prince of the Epirotes (Historia De Vita Et Gestis Scanderbegi Epirotarvm Principis) by Marin Barleti (Marinus Barletius Scodrensis), was published in Rome in 1508. This basic work was translated from Latin into a number of European languages. Barleti’s work inspired many other authors, some of whom produced other remarkable creations, including musical ones.
