Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to the second (final) redaction of the unpublished and hitherto unexplored work by Grigor Parlichev, entitled Σύντομος Βουλγαρικὴ ἱστορία συνδεδεμὲνη μετὰ τῆς Βυσαντινῆς (Short Bulgarian History Connected with the Byzantine). The work is in Greek (katharevousa) and is preserved in a manuscript held at the Archive of the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts under the signature III/1. The content of the archival unit is presented in detail, with special attention given to the three paleographic descriptions of the manuscript. The issue of the presence of two handwriting styles within the manuscript is clarified, emphasizing the conclusion that the entire work belongs to Grigor Parlichev, represents a semantically and compositionally connected text, and is the result of a unified authorial concept and consistently applied principles of exposition. The composition of the work is also presented. In conclusion, a hypothesis is put forward that the History was most likely created in Ohrid between 1861 and 1878.
