Morlachism or Morlacchism (

travel book Viaggio in Dalmazia ("Journey to Dalmatia") from 1774, which achieved great popularity in Western Europe.[1][2]

In 2014, Branislava Milić Brett, then professor at the University of Alberta, coined the term "Proto-Morlachism" (also referred to as "Pre-Morlachism") to refer to a purported earlier stage of Morlachism that lasted from the Middle Ages to 1774. According to her, particularities of Proto-Morlachism include that, unlike Morlachism, it also included interventions and viewpoints from the Morlachs themselves. One example of a Proto-Morlachist author would have been the Italian poet Franco Sacchetti.[1]
