URDHRI FRANÇESKAN, MODEL KULTUROR, LETRAR DHE ARSIMOR.

The paper The Franciscan Order, a cultural, literary and educational model, wants to highlight the special contribution of this order in the processing, cultivation and evidence of Albanian autochthonous features and characteristics. This way of looking at it defends the idea that despite the fact that the level of anthropological study as academic knowledge was not on the same line as that of the world, the raw material existed and was highlighted by active historical, political, cultural, literary figures, linguistic or artistic. Among them they were the Franciscan fathers, practitioners of the order with the same name, who served the issue of Albania, its relationship as a tradition, custom, mentality to better known themselves, but also to present it to the whole world. As such, the paper relies on the work, judgment and efforts to codify the cultural, literary and educational as well as ethnological and anthropological values of: Fishta, Konica, Palaj, Kurti, Pllumi, Harapi, etc. The descriptive, exploratory, narrowly focused and ethnographic method gave us free "rein" to conceptualize the basic subject and to lay milestones for further confrontations and comparisons in a wider Balkan and European area. The Franciscan fathers to achieve their goal, which started from their spirit of sacrifice, built a professional infrastructure which started with the use of the Albanian language, the publication of scholastic texts and not only, functional premises, extensive work and dedication almost in every corner of Northern Albania.
