The Aromanian Missal (Aromanian: Lituryieru armãnescu; Romanian: Liturghier aromânesc) is an anonymous[1] Aromanian-language instructive liturgical book (missal)[2][3] variously referred to as dating from the beginning,[4][3] the first half,[5] the middle[6] and the second half of the 18th century.
[3] The Aromanian Missal was discovered in 1939 by Ilo Mitkë Qafëzezi, a scholar and writer of mixed Albanian–Aromanian origins, in the archives of the National Library of Albania in Tirana.
Upon its discovery, Qafëzezi sent copies of the manuscript to his colleagues at the University of Bucharest Theodor Capidan and Victor Papacostea [ro], as well as to the Romanian newspaper Universul.
Later, in 1957, Qafëzezi sent copies of the document to the Iorgu Iordan – Alexandru Rosetti Institute of Linguistics [ro] for the missal's study.
[10] The Aromanian Missal is one of the earliest Aromanian-language works along with the also anonymous Codex Dimonie and the publications of Theodore Kavalliotis, Daniel Moscopolites and Constantin Ucuta.
