Gjerasim Qiriazi (1858–1894) was an Albanian Protestant preacher and educator. He is the founder of the Protestant Church of Albania and the Kosovo Protestant Evangelical Church. He also founded the first Albanian school in modern times in 1887 in Korçë, Albania, then part of the Ottoman Empire.〔 ==Biography== Qiriazi attended a Greek school of his native Manastir, Macedonia. He then went to Samokov, Bulgaria, to attend the American College. After he finished his studies, in 1883, he started to work for the British and Foreign Bible Society in Korçë. On November 15, 1884, while traveling to Lake Ohrid, he was kidnapped by bandits, who held him for ransom for over a year. This episode was narrated by Gjerasim in ''Captured by Brigands'' and published after his death in English in 1901.〔 In 1891, he and his sister, Sevasti Qiriazi, opened the first Albanian school for girls in Korçë. He also had a younger sister, Parashqevi Qiriazi, who started to work at the girl's school ((アルバニア語:Shkolla e vashave)) when she was only 11.〔 He died at an early age from pleurisy, which he caught during his captivity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gjerasim Qiriazi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
