Summary/Abstract: The academic literature includes a fair amount of studies on materials in the Obretenov’s miscellany from 1780 (NBKM 1070). Most of the research has identified literary and linguistic issues and aspects from the history of the regional Otoman administration, which has been described in some of the marginal notes in the manuscript. This article contains a brief paleographic analysis of the handwriting features in the text, inscribed by at least three scribes – Obreten Ganyov, his son Tiho and, so far, an anonymous scribe, identified in parts of the main text. Moreover, the interpretative analysis focuses on some of the brief marginal historical notes containing information on natural phenomena in Ruse and Ruse Province.
