Early life
Zamputi was born on 12 February 1910 in
Saverian College in Shkodra, and at the age of 21, and where he would start his academic career as professor of the Albanian language and literature. He would later study political sciences at the University of Trieste in Italy.[1]
Academic life
In 1937, he wrote a
medieval Italian, paleography, and archival research.[1] During his academic life, Zamputi distinguished himself as an historian of unusual precision and reliability.[2] Some of his main works are Relacione mbi gjendjen a Shqiperise veriore e te mesme ne shkullin XVII (Reports on the state of Northern and Central Albania in the 17th century), Dokumenta te shekullit XV per historine e Shqiperise (15th century documents on the Albanian history), Regjistrimi i kadastres dhe koncencioneve ne rrethin e Shkodres, 1417–1418 (Land and concessions registry in the Shkodra district, 1417–1418), and a set of volumes Dokumente per historine e Shqiperise (Documents on the history of Albania), by periods: 1479–1506, 1400–1405, 1507–1699 (the later in 4 volumes named Dokumente the shekujve 16-17 per historine e Shqiperise – Documents from the 16th-17th centuries on the history of Albania).[2] Zamputi is also known for transcribing the Elbasan Gospel Manuscript.[4]
In 1993 he moved to Italy, where he kept working on the medieval history, finishing two manuscripts of translated medieval documents, and an autobiography. He died in Tivoli, on 28 February 1998, and was buried in Sharrë near Tirana on 5 March 1998.[1]
Recognition
Despite his huge contribute in the fields of history and albanology, the first scientific title was awarded to him in 1995 as "Punonjës i shquar i shkencës dhe i teknikës" (Distinguished contributor on science and technology), for "distinguished contribute on Albanological Sciences".[1]
