Over the years of WW II, Fan S. Noli turned his hand again to the figure of the hero-model of his choice, George Kastrioti, this time in a different way - by writing a monograph in compliance with scientific criteria required for a PhD degree. He completed his study in 1945 and then presented it as a doctoral dissertation at the Boston University. Noli's dissertation bears the short, emotionally neutral title, George Castrioti Skanderbeg, and is written strictly abiding by the didactic guide-book for a doctorate. To this day, it may well be considered a piece of model of academic writing, in terms of both its depth of research and form of presentation.
In honor of the 140th anniversary of the birth of this monograph's author and the 100th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Albania and USA, a decision was taken to publish a first-ever, anastatic reproductive edition specifically of Noli's second story of Skanderbeg - the only one among his four Skanderbeg stories to have been subjected not solely to publishers' considerations, but, instead, to the sound judgment of a university supervisory board and a jury to which it was presented for assessment. Such a decision, therefore, intends not simply to scrutinize an author's yet unpublicized dactylographic opus, but to also provide an instance of scientific discipline in pursuing a doctorate. The publication of this dactylographic script by the Fan S. Noli Foundation, hopefully, will encourage related comparative studies. It may rightfully be assumed that the changes from one story to the other also represent a process of self-reflection. Fan S. Noli wrote in his dissertation introduction that Skanderbeg did not escape the general rule of passing from aggrandizement and gloryfication by worshipers to the merciless annihilation or even exhumation by his adversaries, to ultimately have his hard-earned glory restored by the will and grace of reasonable historians, whose eyes were not dimmed blind neither by the admirers' fanaticism, nor by the rancor of the illl-inclined.
