Re: [tied] Re: Albanian

I don't know also nothing new about the manuscript, so we must wait
and see. To my view, many parts of "Missal" (Alb. "Meshar", 1555) are
much older, especially some parts translated from Greek.
Unfortunately, my six months work on "Missal" together with book and
notes has disappear during the war, for Serbian special forces have
controlled my dwelling for six ours. It lacks just another six, to be
it completely devil's job: Thanks God, my father and mother were not
massacred.
