by Prof. Dr. Eqrem M. Zenelaj
About the book
What did Skanderbeg really look like? For the 550th anniversary of his death, this album shows how Europe has portrayed the Albanian national hero over the centuries.
Portraits, engravings, scores and documents – gathered from some 20 European archives, museums and libraries. On the cover: one of the earliest known portraits of Skanderbeg, from the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
Some twenty years of collecting and around 5,000 examined documents went into this volume. With a family tree, a chronology and the author’s thesis that Skanderbeg was born in 1414 – not 1405. Bilingual throughout in Albanian and English.
