Actually the possibility of Albanian manuscripts centuries older than
Buzuku being discovered in some Italian library should always be kept
in mind. I've no doubt that a systematic search for texts written in
the Latin alphabet but not in Italian or Latin would significantly
increase the corpus of older Croatian and Albanian texts. The problem
is how to go about organizing such a search.
