Albanian folklore

In Albanian folklore, Gjergj Elez Alia was a great warrior of Albanian tradition. The song Gjergj Elez Alia was recorded by Bernardin Palaj and Donat Kurti in Nikaj (Tropojë District) and published in Tirana in 1937. The song is usually sung in lahute, or occasionally in Çiftelia by Albanian rhapsodes. The song is part of the larger cycle of the Albanian Songs of the Frontier Warriors (Albanian: Këngë Kreshnikësh or Cikli i Kreshnikëve) that crystallized in the 17th and 18th centuries and recorded in written form in first decades of 20th century by the Franciscan priests Shtjefën Gjeçovi and Bernardin Palaj.Although they were transmitted from South Slavic milieu of Bosnia they are not simply translated from Serbo-Croatian, but they independently evolved in northern Albanian highlands.


Schon im 15. Jahrhundert wird Djerzelez laut IBN KEMAL(1468—1534) als Held in bosnischen Volksliedern besungen, bei den Albanern wird er im 16-17 Jahrhundert erwähnt aber erst im 20 niedergeschrieben, bei Djerzelez sieht man die viele verschiedenen Epen mit zb. Marko Kraljevic (1335; † 1394).
