Early Writings of the Philologist K.Cipo in Service of the National Cause
Abstract
Cipo started his way towards science inseparable from that of his country and the Albanian nation, walking in the same street started quite early by scholars and intellectuals that put their passion and scientific work into the service of the national cause. This can clearly be seen in the writings of 1918s in the newspaper "The assembly" that was published in Rome, in Italian. It is the time when Albania had to be known not only geographically and politically, as it was not just a ‘geographic expression’, but also for its well-known people and personalities in various fields of knowledge. His intellectual contemporary achievements in linguistics in general, and Albanology in particular distinguished in those writings, as well as a devoted patriot who believed that he could serve his homeland with his pen. Furthermore, the pen of this scholar further elevates the national issue and makes it known in areas where Albanians, due to the historical conditions and circumstances, were not mentioned. Here he sets foot not with either, but with the confidence of a professional, and authoritative scholar. The same must be said about writing essays in the field of literature and literary criticism. The aim of this paper is that through analysis and synthesis, comparing and approaching Cipo’s writings in that period, to contribute and give more arguments in favor of the thesis that the Albanians, Cipo as an outstanding patriot as well, never saw science, literature, and culture in general detached from national issues. On the contrary, they put it in its service.
