History

Studime Historike is the first historical magazine in Albania. It started as Buletini i Institutit të Studimeve (Bulletin of the Institute of Studies), published by the Albanian Institute of History established in 1946, representing the first scientific institute in post World War II Albania. It had separate sections for linguistics, literary studies, and history. After the first issue with this name, it promptly changed to Buletin i Institutit të Shkencave (Bulletin of the Institute of Sciences), published by the Albanian Institute of Science (1948–1957) which had replaced the Institute of Studies. The magazine preserved it previous structure. In 1952, it split in two separate publications: Buletini për Shkencat Natyrore (Bulletin for the Natural Sciences), and Bulletini për Shkencat Shoqërore (Bulletin for Social Studies). The later one focused on linguistics, history, archaeology, ethnography, etc. Articles started being accompanied by a resume in French. [3]

In 1955, the corresponding sections of social studies merged into the Albanian Institute of History and Linguistics (Albanian : Instituti i Historisë dhe i Gjuhësisë), [4] which affiliated with the University of Tirana during 1957–1972. During 1957–1964, the magazine came out as Buletin i Universitetit të Tiranës – seria shkencat shoqërore (Bulletin of the University of Tirana – series on social studies). After 1964, the Institute of History and Linguistics started publishing Studime Historike (one issue every three months), and the other magazine Studime Filologjike (Philological studies).

With the establishment of the Albanian Academy of Sciences in 1972, the Institute of History and Linguistics split into the Instituti i Historisë (Institute of History) and Instituti i Gjuhës dhe Letërsisë (Institute of Linguistics and Literature) which served as the main institutions of albanology, both affiliated with the Academy of Sciences. Starting from 1973, "Studime Historike", restarted coming out 4 times per year. [5] In 1979, the Institute of History grew and expanded with additional sections, each focusing on separate periods of history, i.e. sections for Albanian National Awakening, Albania during World War II, Ethnic History, History of Kosovo, etc. Around 35 historians and albanologues contributed during this period. The articles were still accompanied by a resume in French. [3]

After 1991, with the fall of communism in Albania, the number of associated staff of the Institute of History decreased significantly. After the issues 3-4 of 1991, "Studime Historike" stopped publishing for two years. It restarted in 1994 until 1997 once a year, and later twice a year with around 250-300 pages each issue. In 2008, the institute was disaffiliated with the Albanian Academy of Sciences, joining the Centre of Albanological Studies. It continued with 16 members in 3 departments (Middle Ages and National Awakening, post Independence, and Contemporary Studies). [3]

The Muzaka were an Albanian noble family that ruled over the region of Myzeqe in the Late Middle Ages. The Muzaka are also referred to by some authors as a tribe or a clan. The earliest historical document that mentions Muzaka family is written by the Byzantine historian Anna Komnene. At the end of the 13th and beginning of the 14th century members of the Muzaka family controlled a region between the rivers of Devoll and Vjosë. Some of them were loyal to the Byzantine Empire while some of them allied with Charles of Anjou who gave them impressive Byzantine-like titles in order to subdue them more easily. During a short period, Serbian Emperor Stefan Dušan occupied Albania including domains of Muzaka family but after Dušan's death they regained their former possessions. After the Battle of Savra in 1385 the territory of Albania came under the Ottoman Empire; they served the Ottomans until 1444 when Theodor Corona Musachi joined Skanderbeg's rebellion.

Those who stayed in Ottoman Albania lost their feudal rights, some converted to Islam and achieved high ranks in the Ottoman military and administrative hierarchy.
