The first texts in Friulian date back to the 13th century and are mainly commercial or juridical acts. The examples show that Friulian was used together with Latin, which was still the administrative language. The main examples of literature that have survived (much from this period has been [[Lost literary work|lost]]) are poems from the 14th century and are usually dedicated to the theme of love and are probably inspired by the Italian poetic movement [[Dolce Stil Novo]]. The most notable work is ''Piruç myò doç inculurit'' (which means "My pear, all colored"); it was composed by an anonymous author from Cividale del Friuli, probably in 1380.

There are few differences in the first two rows, which demonstrates that there has not been a great evolution in the language except for several words which are no longer used (for example, {{lang|fur|dum(n) lo}}, a word which means "child"). A modern Friulian speaker can understand these texts with only little difficulty.

The second important period for Friulian literature is the 16th century. The main author of this period was [[Ermes di Colorêt]], who composed over 200 poems.
