Summary/Abstract: The text and the translation in Bulgarian are published of an unused report on the political relations between the Bulgarian King Constantine Tih Assen and the Neapolitan King Charles d’Anjou. Mention is made in the published source of a so far unknown mission to Tarnovo in early 1275 of the abbot of Monte Cassino, Bernard, who had to ensure mutually advantageous co-operation between the Bulgarians and the people of Anjou in the period immediately after the Second Council of Lyons. Bernard failed to fulfil his task because he was generously bribed by the interested Byzantine Emperor Michael Palaeologus. The consequences of this unsuccessful mission are yet to be established by the researchers by a more detailed study of the Neapolitan archives for the period.
