Fan Noli's poetry and biblical symbolism

Albanian literature, like many literatures of European nations, will start with the "scriptures" and it will develop in this framework until the present day, whose tendency towards this reference remains extraordinary. Therefore, the influence, the poetics of biblical discourse will also influence the currents of consolidation of the Albanian language, culture and especially Albanian literature. Without this paratext, Albanian Literature would have not been what it is. This only reinforces the argument that the Bible is a literary school within Albanian literature. The Albanian writing begins with a baptismal formula and the first authors of the Albanian writing are all priests. the old Albanian literature reflects the philobiblical character (philobiblical-text based on religious writings from the Bible), from the titles to the content, e.g. Meshari i Gjon Buzukut, Doktrina e krishterë e Budit, Çeta e profetëve, Pjetër Bogdani, Gjella e Shën Mërisë Virgjër, Jul Variboba. The essence of these texts is religious teaching and moral teaching and thematically their poems come from the Bible.
