Up to the present, among the documents at the Central State
Archive of Albania, the place of honor has been given to the Collection of
Codices, to the greek byzantine and post-byzantine manuscripts. Lately, the
number of 119 known manuscripts and fragments of manuscripts has been
enriched with 11 other manuscripts, newly found. They were preserved at the
Library of the CSA, without being catalogued at earlier times and, eventually,
were never made known to the scientific public.
In our paper we will present for the first time these newly found manuscripts
of CSA, which date between the 14th and the 19th century. Their content,
written in Greek (with some exception), is: 1) Oneirocritikon of Achmet, son
of Sirin (Ὀνειροκριτηκόν τοῦ Αχμέτ, υἱοῦ Σιρίν); 2) Nomokanon; 3) short
geography of Athanassios Psalidhas; 4) Political geography; 5) Liturgical
texts in Greek and Vallachian with Greek characters; 6) a notebook with the
notes of two pupils, copies of theological texts; 7) a notebook, grammar and
mathematic exercises, between them some folios written in the alphabet
of Theodhor Haxhifilipi; 8) a notebook containing grammar exercises and
French-Greek-French dictionary, Italian-Greek-Italian dictionary, Latin-
Greek-Latin dictionary; 9) pastoral texts by Christophor the Spiritual, Mr.
Misail and Eugen Boulgaris, manuscript from the 18th century; 10) Psalms
of David and the Nine Odes, printed book of the 17th century, containing
handwritten folios dating at the end of the same century, possibly copied by
Ghinos, priest and oikonomos of Pogonianis; 11) Dypticha of the Monastery
of Philanthropon, manuscript from the 14th century.
