Newly Discovered Marginal Notes from Kotel

Summary/Abstract: In this article are published for the first time newly discovered marginal notes in ten liturgical books form Kotel, kept at present in the churches of the town, in the Sliven State Art Gallery and in private family archives. These texts contain information about various events: the Kotel revolt of 1809, the population in 1830, the Crimean War (1853–1856), the April Uprising (1876), the Russo-Turkish War of Liberation (1877–1878), the Reunification (1885), about names and events connected with local history, and local Kotel families. Particularly impressive are the scholia in the menologion dated form the end of the 18th and the very beginning of the 19th century and the interesting chronicle of Randyu Stanchev Randev (1833–1919). The newly found marginal notes should be regarded as part of the rich literary heritage of the Kotel area owing to which the interest of the researchers in them would be fully justified.
