In modern Albanian it is: Unë të pagëzoj në emër të Atit, të Birit, e të Shpirtit të Shenjtë.[3] In English it is: "I baptize thee in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit".[1]

The document is held in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Florence, Italy, where it was discovered in 1915 by Romanian scholar Nicolae Iorga.[4]

Albanian scripts were produced earlier than Formula e pagëzimit, we know of their existence by earlier references, for example a French monk noted in 1332, that "although the Albanians have another language totally different from Latin, they still use Latin letters in all their books.[5][6]
