Literary Tradition
It is commonly held that Albanian must have been written at least since the 12th century as many facts would indicate. A 1332 document written in Latin by a monk, variously identified as either Guillaume Adam (Archbishop of Antivari in the Principality of Serbia from 1324 to 1341), or Brocardus Monacus (Frère Brochard), testifies to the existence of written Albanian prior to the earliest records so far discovered.

Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or tradition:
“Humorists can never start to take themselves seriously. It’s literary suicide.”

“Science is neither a single tradition, nor the best tradition there is, except for people who have become accustomed to its presence, its benefits and its disadvantages. In a democracy it should be separated from the state just as churches are now separated from the state.”
