The Albanian tribe of “Gasulus” (Gaçuli) or “Gazul” “Gasulus, Gacolus”, “Gazul” were Albanian Ragusans citizen in the 15th century, originally Albanese (Albanian) from the Zadrima region near Alessio.¹

Members of the tribe like Gjon Gazuli (1400-1465) (lat. Johannes Gasulus)

“The arboreal civilization of Mihal Trivoli’s time included prominent names such as Gjon Gazuli (1400 – 1465) (lat. Johannes Gasulus) originally from northern Albania (Mirdita, or Zadrima e Shkodra), Dominican priest and humanist. His activity was in the field of astronomy, mathematics, physics, philosophy, diplomacy, art. In Musantio’s chronological table, we find Gazuli among the greatest mathematicians of the 15th century. His theory of “celestial constellations” would guide Copernicus (1473-1543) in his studies on astronomy.”²,³,⁴
