Elsie records that Gurakuqi's Jesuit teachers encouraged him and that he began writing poetry in Italian, Latin and Albanian, the latter published in the Jesuit periodical of religious culture Elçija i Zemrës t'Jezu Krishtit (The Messenger of the Sacred Heart); the dictionary's Islam entry separately describes the community headed by the grand mufti of Tirana as organized Sunni Islam.",
