Fifty years of studing the work of Prof. Çabej in Kosova, 1952-2002


Fifty years before, the passionated researcher Hasan Ka­le­shi, has pub­li­shed a review for ”Serbo - Croatian – Albanian Dic­tionary”, co-author of which was Eqrem Çabej. This is the first year a reseacher from Kosova fo­cu­sed the attention of the rea­ders on the name of Professor Çabej, who la­ter, especially du­ring the last thirty years turned to be a synonym of the hi­ghest achievements of the science of albanology, and not only of it.


For the work of Prof. Çabej will be writen even later and his studies will be constantly published, especially after 1970, when his first work will be published in Kosova. From then on, until the end of the XX century, his complete works have been published, giving the reason for tens of ar­ti­c­les to be wri­tten for the reflective aspect, the research aspect and the as­pect of evaluating the special and the general contribution of Prof. Ça­bej in albanology and in the Albanian culture.

Since 1970, when «Për gjenezën e literaturës shqipe» (For the genesis of the Albanian literature) was first published, his research articles will ne­ver cease to be published and re-pub­lished. so, on 1977, «Rilindja» pub­lished his entire work in six volumes, marking one of the greater cul­tural event in its publications, maybe from the beginning of its ac­ti­vi­ty un­til today. Only after ten years, it will re-publish them, not on­ly tho­se six volumes, but also the two volumes of the critical edi­tion of «Me­shari i Gjon Buzukut», while on 1988-1989 will publish the VIII and IX volumes. Let we bear in mind that the publication of his works was initiated also by the post-graduated stu­dents of the Albanian lan­gua­ge. The post-gra­duated discourses «Presentation of the comparative gra­ma­tics of Indo-European languages» were recorded, typed and ga­the­red in the form of a brochure, which would be pub­li­shed in the fra­me­work of the complete works only on 1986.

The publications of the studies of Prof. Çabej do not appear on­ly in se­pa­rated books and magazines. Because Prof. Çabej was very active in all scien­tific sessions of national and in­ter­na­tional character, in Albania and other research centres of Bal­kans and Europe, his contribution will be seen al­so in the joint scientific works published in Prishtina, such as «Fjalori i drej­t­shkrimit të gjuhës shqipe» (1983), «Kongresi i drejt­sh­kri­mit të gjuhës shqi­pe» (1974), «Drejtshkrimi i gjuhës shqipe» (1978), «Studime ilire» I, II (1978), etc.

Besides his writings in the daily Rilindja and writings on him, the re­search published in the scientific editions of Tirana, al­most imediately, we­re re-published more than once pub­li­shed in the Prishtina and Shkup li­terary and scientific reviews: Gjur­mime albanologjike, Jehona, Përparimi, Fja­la, etc.

Prof. Çabej, as a scientific personality and one of the grea­ter scholars of Al­banology and Balkanology, will turn to be an ob­ject of study: The Se­ssion (IAP, 1998), The Seminar (1987), The Forum (1993), The Co­mme­morative Evening of the Fi­lo­lo­gy Faculty, Prishtina University (1990); and even scientific in­stitutions will be established on his name: The Onomastics Youth Circle «Eqrem Çabej», within the Democratic Youth «Pje­tër Bogdani» in Prishtina (1993); and all preparations will be do­ne to found the Albanian Research Institute «Eqrem Ça­bej» in Prishtina (1998).

As a result of the publication of his studies, his full work and of the scien­tific gatherings dedicated to his work, time af­ter time will be pub­li­shed also special editions dedicated to the li­fe and his work: Seminari Ndër­kombëtar për Gjuhën, Kul­tu­rën dhe Letërsinë Shqiptare (1987), Jeta re (1998), Shenjëzat (1998), Eqrem Çabej – Jeta dhe vepra (2002), etc.

In their studies, the general articles, presentations of works on the event of publication, in reviews for books and in the mo­nographical studies, the re­searchers of Kosova will deal with many domains of knowledge where Prof. Çabej worked du­ring his scientific life. So, with special studies on his li­fe and work, we distinguish: Akad. prof. dr. Idriz Ajeti, Akad. prof. dr. Rexhep Ismajli, Prof. dr. Murat Blaku, Prof. dr. Rem­zi Nesimi, Mr. Beg­zad Baliu; reviews for his work: Dr. Hasan Ka­leshi, Akad. prof. dr. Idriz Aje­ti, Akad. prof. dr. Rexhep Is­maj­li, Dr. Aanton Berisha, etc; for his me­n­tal, intellecual, and scien­tific personality will write: Akad. prof. dr. Re­xhep Qosja, Prof. dr. Shefki Sejdiu etj.; for his contribution in the history of the language: Akad. prof. dr. Idriz Ajeti, Akad. prof. dr. Re­xhep Ismajli, etc.; for the theorical problems and the scientific re­sults in etimology: Akad. prof. dr. Idriz Ajeti, Prof. dr. Qe­mal Murati, etc.; for the scientific va­lues of his studies in ono­mas­tics: Akad. prof. dr. Idriz Ajeti, Prof. dr. Ruzh­di Ushaku, Dr. Rexhep Doçi, Dr. Skënder Gashi, Mr. Begzad Baliu etc.; for his results in the historical gramatics I. Ajeti, while for tho­se in the his­torical phonetics Akad. prof. dr. Rexhep Ismajli, whi­le those of the his­to­rical syntax were studied by Mr. Agim Spa­hiu. In this continuity of stu­dies, approaches and general scien­tific presentations, the work of Prof. Ça­bej turned to be an object of study in different scientific fields.

For his con­tri­bu­tion in dialectology wrote Prof. dr Latif Mulaku, Prof. dr. Im­ri Ba­dallaj, etc.; for his contribution in the culture of lan­gua­ge Akad. prof. dr. Rexhep Ismajli, Prof. dr. Fadil Raka, Prof. dr. Imri Bajçinca, Prof. dr. Bah­tijar Kryeziu, etc. More than in any field, his interests and dedication in literature  was ana­lyzed by: Prof. dr. Sabri Hamiti, Dr. Ibrahim Ru­go­va, Dr. Emin Kabashi, Prof. dr. Gani Lubeteni, Prof. dr. Zejnullah Rra­h­ma­ni, Mr. Arben Hoxha etc., and in the field of the po­pu­lar literature: Dr. Fazli Syla, Dr. Zymer Neziri, Dr. Rrustem Be­risha, Dr. Anton Be­ri­sha, etc., but also in the field of eth­no­lo­gy: Prof. dr. Drita Statofci, Prof. dr. Ukë Xhema, etc. Prof. Ça­bej was a multi-disiplinary skilled scholar, so the re­sear­chers, apart the interest they had, above all have been obliged to ope­rate through a comparative evaluations of problems. So, it is un­der­stan­dable why his work was not an easy one to be stu­died in its whole and to be achieved the desired results. All the same, many researchers from Ko­so­va dared to evaluate his know­ledge also from this angle. In this di­rec­tion, M. Halimi wro­te for the contribute of Professor Çabej  in Balkanistic stu­dies, R. Ismajli (for Çabej and the linguistic schools), Gj. She­hu (for Pro­fessor Çabej and the French school Words and things), R. Ushaku (for Pro­fessor Çabej and the attacks of the Sla­vic researcher in the Al­ba­no­lo­gi­cal studies); Prof. dr. En­gjëll Sedaj (for Professor Çabej and Fishta); Mr. H. Hoxha (for Ba­ric’s concepts and Professor Çabej); Mr. Begzad Baliu (for Gus­tav Mayer, Eqrem Çabej and the German school of fi­lology); Mr. Myr­vete Dreshaj-Baliu (for Professor Çabej and Naim Frashëri); Prof. dr. Faik Shkodra (for Professor Çabej and De Rada and Naim) etc. The high in­terest the researchers from Kosova had on Çabej’s work is shown also in the large num­ber of postcards sent to him from Kosova or from other coun­­tries of the world, in a time when the correspondence with the re­sear­chers of Albania could have severe con­se­quen­ces by the regime: Prof. Ha­san Mekuli, Prof. Anton Çetta, Akad. Prof. dr. Rexhep Ismajli, Dr. Ismajl Do­da, Haxhi Kras­ni­qi etc.

In contrast with a large number of specific and general stu­dies, the work of Professor Çabej in Kosova still has not been trea­ted in its whole. Un­til now, his scientific work is dealt with in a monographic level only one time. On 2001, Begzad Baliu fi­nished his postgraduate studies on the to­pic «Issues of Ono­mas­tics’ Studies in Eqrem Çabej’s work».

It is not difficult to deduct that, seeing the actual researches do­ne and the results achieved, more on the work of Prof. Ça­bej will be written, for ma­ny reasons.

His manuscripts continue to be published in Tirana and Pri­sh­tina, whi­le the works previously published continue to be re-pub­lished. The ho­rizont of expectations in his work has not dec­lined.

In contrary, his work is continually being identified with the highest re­sults achieved in the Albanological studies. For so­me of the more dis­tin­gui­shed achievements, especially in the field of language history and ety­mo­logy, regardless of ma­ny special writtings, still there is no com­pre­hen­si­ve mo­no­gra­phy of these results, while his achievements in studing the works of the old writers, of course, will be unsurpassed mo­dels in the Al­ba­nological studies. When, someday in the fu­tu­re, his interests in special fields will compose respective mo­no­graphies, the pretending of a re­sear­cher to include all of them in a unique monography can not be called pre­ma­ture.
