Scanderbeide: The Heroic Deeds of George Scanderbeg, King of Epirus

The first historical heroic epic authored by a woman, "Scanderbeide" recounts the exploits of fifteenth-century Albanian warrior-prince George Scanderbeg and his war of resistance against the Ottoman sultanate. Filled with scenes of intense and suspenseful battles contrasted with romantic episodes, "Scanderbeide" combines the action and fantasy characteristic of the genre with analysis of its characters' motivations. In selecting a military campaign as her material and epic poetry as her medium, Margherita Sarrocchi (1560?-1617) not only engages in the masculine subjects of political conflict and warfare but also tackles a genre that was, until that point, the sole purview of men.
First published posthumously in 1623, "Scanderbeide" reemerges here in an adroit English prose translation that maintains the suspense of the original text and gives ample context to its rich cultural implications.

'Esat Pashe Toptani' - Tradhtari i Shqiperise





The Traitor's Epitah

May this dreary abode be for ever unknown,
For ever, by virtue, by Pity, untrod;
Unbreathed be his name, and unhonor'd his stone;
The foe of his country, his monarch, his God

Tiriri mori Qeranë/
Ngrehu dhe zgjuaj babanë
Hajdutët në stan seç ranë/
Mua lidhurë më kanë
Qen korbec në shtrug e vranë/
Dash’ jallush në hell e kanë
Dhënt’ i muar edhe vanë/
Kaptuanë Llogaranë
Tiriri o moj Qeranë.

Mehmet Ruhi Arel, "Askerler" (Soldiers), 1915

"Haşim Nur Gürel, while examining “Soldiers” of Mehmet Ruhi points out that such paintings based on heroism were done right after the Balkan Wars and during the years of World I Wars in the Şişli Atelier, and that on both sides there was disorderly militia units not wearing regular uniforms. Taking this into consideration he thinks that the figures in the painting are either guerillas or militias with Balkanic roots. Gürel also attracts the attention on the allegorical approach of the artist about war, death and about existing one moment and then perishing the next moment and turning into dust and earth. [..] ..but the outbreak of cholera due to Rumelia during 1893-94 he supposed the period of the 1800s through the end of the event. Ilendiği of our people in the city of Thessaloniki city, the pearl of Rumelia. Rum, Ermeni'si, Pomak'ı, Albanians, Turks went to muddle like brothers. Jews, Muslims, Christians in various parts of the city will do to worship freely in their own mosques, churches, havralarını uses one would not bother anyone."
