Frang Bardhi

Frang Bardhi

Frang Bardhi (Latin: "Franciscus Blancus", Italian: "Francesco Bianchi"), (1606-1643), was an early Albanian church figure and author of note.

He was born in Kallmet or Nënshat in the northern Albanian Zadrima region and studied theology in Italy. In 1636 he was appointed Bishop of Sapa and Sarda.

Bardhi is remembered as the author of the first Albanian dictionary: "Dictionarium latino-epiroticum", Rome 1635 (Latin-Albanian dictionary), comprising 5,640 entries.

From 1637 on, Frang Bardhi submitted reports in Italian and Latin to the Congregation of the Propaganda Fide in Rome which contain a mine of information about his diocese, about political developments, about Albanian customs and about the structure and position of the Catholic church in Ottoman-occupied Albania.
