Gaqo Adhamidhi or Adamidi (1859–1939), also referred to as Adhamidh Frashëri,[1] was an Albanian physician and political figure during the early 20th century.[2]
Albanian representative in the League of Nations "Dr. Adhamuti" personage
Lifeedit
Adhamidhi was born in Korçë, back then Ottoman Empire, today's Albania.[2] Like most of the members of the Orthodox community there he emigrated at a young age. He settled in Egypt, where he studied medicine and became a physician. Adamidi was a close friend of the physician and politician Mihal Turtulli, another prominent member from the ranks of the Albanian community of Egypt.[3]
It is accepted that the Albanian poet and playwright Andon Çako, better known as Andon Zako Çajupi, one of the prominent activists of the Albanian National Awakening, based his comic personage "Dr. Adhamuti" of his comedy Klubi i Selanikut (Thessaloniki's Club) based on George Adhamidhi.[2] The reason was personal vendetta from a Zako's matchmaking gone bad, for which he might have accused Adhamidhi. Inside Zako's satirical story, Dr. Adhamudhi is described as a grotesque, penny-pinching, ignorant, pro-Ottoman, pseudo-physician.[3]
