The book presents a
panorama of the extraordinarily rich and varied tradition of historical and
apocalyptical literature in tenth- through seventeenth-century medieval
Bulgaria.
A number of Old Church
Slavonic texts are described and analyzed, as both a critical edition and a
translation with commentary.
These texts include The
Vision and Interpretation of Daniel, The Revelation of Pseudo-Methodius
Patarensis, The Last Vision of Prophet Daniel, Prophet Isaiah's Vision of the
Final Days, The Oracles of Leo the Wise, and Andreas Salos' Apocalypses.
The Bulgarian tradition
is analysed by examining not only the reception of Byzantine texts in Bulgaria,
but also the reproduction and transformation of such texts, as well as the
creation of an impressive number of original works, including Isaiah's
Narrative, The Bulgarian Apocryphal Chronicle, Pandeh's Prophetic Story, The
Story of Sibyl, and Razumnik-ukaz.
The proliferation of
this unique phenomenon of historical and apocalyptic works in medieval Bulgaria
has no analogue in other Slavic literatures.
