Summary/Abstract: This article will explore the postscripts in the Divine books, kept in the church “Uspenie Bogorodichno” in the village of Shipochane near Samokov. In many of the available manuscripts, write-in notes are found, more than 20. From them, we can piece together when the book was purchased, who was the buyer and his intentions. Most of the postscripts are from the first haven of the 19th century. The oldest dated postscript is found in a handwritten gospel from the 15th century. It was gifted to the church by the villagers in 1678. The postscripts are valuable historical records and are keys to understanding the history of the temple and the village. Amongst the pages echo the voices of people long gone.
