Abstracts

Bulgarian literature, which holds a noteworthy position among southern-slavic literatures, owes its blooming to its proximity to the imperial capital of Constantinople and the subsequent impact of the church and literary initiative of Cyril and Methodius. Its characteristics include the abundance of ecclesiastical and especially hagiographical texts and it can be decomposed in three distinct periods: to the beginning of the old-slavic hagiography from the end of the 9th all through the 10th c. related to Cyril and Methodius and their first disciples succeeds a second period marked by the flourishing of anachoretic hagiography corresponding to the existence of the second Bulgarian kingdom from the 11th to the 14th c. Finally, the golden age of Bulgarian hagiography is situated towards the end of the 14th c. at the time of patriarch Euthymius of Tarnovo.
