Anonimi i Elbasanit <Albanian> / Elbasan Gospel Manuscript (1761) is a manuscript work by Gregory of Durrës.

Abstract

Translation of portions of the New Testament into Albanian.

"This unique manuscript was acquired at some point before or during the Second World War by Lef Nosi (1877-1946), an Elbasan scholar and collector of note. Nosi, who is reputed to have possessed the second largest library in Albania, was arrested in August 1945 after the communist takeover of Albania and was shot in February 1946 after a mock trial. The manuscript then found its way into the hands of communist scholar Dhimitër Shuteriqi (1915-2003) who announced its discovery in 1949. It was initially transcribed and published by historian Injac Zamputi (1910-1998), and is currently preserved in the Albanian National Archives in Tirana." (Robert Elsie)
