  • What Events Were Reported by the Old Rus' Chroniclers?
    What Events Were Reported by the Old Rus’ Chroniclers? Timofey V. Guimon The Institute of Universal History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow The article is dedicated to a detailed study of a selected series of events reported by Rus’ chroniclers from the eleventh to the early fourteenth centuries.1* Items of information contained in the Primary Chronicle, as well as in the Laurentian, Hypatian (to 1200) and First Novgorodian (to 1352) Chronicles are catalogued, classified and analysed as a means of reflecting on guidelines that the chroniclers might have followed. Firstly, remarks on different kinds of events are counted in each chronicle and the percentages compared; this gives a general impression of the interests of the Old Rus’ chroniclers. Secondly, the distribution of four kinds of remarks (events in princely families, changes of ecclesiastical hierarchs, the building of churches, natural phenomena and disasters) is studied in connection with the history of the texts. In general, the analysis corroborates Mark Aleshkovsky’s point that recording these ‘non-political’ events is typical of the annalists who describe the present or recent past (those who wrote on the distant past dealt mostly with political events). But in some cases the situation seems more complicated: the repertoire of events reported in a chronicle could depend on the personal attitudes of annalists or their patrons, as well on the activity of a later compiler or reviser. The text of any of the extant Rus’ chronicles is heterogeneous.2 It reflects the work of many individuals. Some of them described events of the distant past; others recorded contemporary events; some created compilations, some revised or annotated already existing texts and so on.

  • The Story of the Bulgarian Bible1
    The Story of the Bulgarian Bible1 Dr. Dony K. Donev My personal interest in the history of the Bulgarian Bible began in 1990, when as a young new-born Christian I received a copy of the 1924 revised edition of the Bulgarian Bible. That particular revision had been printed abroad, smuggled into Bulgaria and kept in a hiding place at the home of Pentecostal believers, members of the underground church in the Plovdiv region. My research for the next six years, along with the work of many friends from the Pravetz Church of God near Sofia, resulted in www.Bibliata.com - a website dedicated to the Bulgarian Bible, which became the first Bulgarian Bible on-line when it was launched in 1996. Since 2001, I have been able to gather more authentic information while working with the Central Church of God in Sofia, Bulgaria. The topic of the Bulgarian translation of the Bible was a central priority during the formation of the first Sunday School Program in the history of the Bulgarian Church of God, and more particularly in the development of a lesson entitled, “My Bible.” In the spring of 2002, I utilized my research on the subject while teaching Systematic Theology for the Department of Pentecostal Studies at the Bulgarian Evangelical Theological Institute (B.E.T.I). My interest in the topic along with further research led to the completion of the following study. ED 1 The paper was presented at the 2006 annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society in Washington, D.C. 1 Writing history involves much more than merely arranging facts in chronological order or thematic orientation.

  • Emergence and Development of Science Education and Bulgarian Schools
    Journal of Physics and Technology, Volume 4 (2020) Number 1, pp. 6-9 ISSN 2535-0536 Emergence and Development of Science Education and Bulgarian Schools Elena D. Maslenkova Department of Methodology of Physics Education, Faculty of Physics, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, 5 James Boucher blvd., Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract. By the middle of the 15th century, literature in the Bulgarian lands began to gradually resume. Enligh- tenment activities were organized individually in some monasteries in the form of monastery schools. The pur- pose of the training is to provide writing, reading and a few arithmetic skills. Monastery school education is ele- mentary and religious in nature. Along with the economic changes, a class of traders and craftsmen was starting to emerge in the Bulgarian lands, who communicated not only within Bulgaria but also with Europe and the Asian markets and needed rational knowledge. This necessitates enrichment of the educational content and is one of the reasons for the creation of the so-called “municipal” monastery schools, which is a new stage in Bulgarian education. In 1824 in Brasov, Romania, Peter Beron’s famous “Fish Letter” appeared. This is the first secular book to expo- se natural science knowledge. Recently, after the release of the Fish Primer Book, another great Bulgarian national revival person, Ivan Seli- minsky (1799-1867), established in his hometown of Sliven a “new” school of two levels, in the upper level of which he taught physics in Greek. He introduced the study of the so-called “positive” sciences and first taught physics in Bulgaria as a separate school subject.
