Summary/Abstract: In 1870, the Bulgarian intellectual Dobri Minkov (1856–1942) comes to Edirne from his birthplace Sliven with his father. 50 years later, he publishes his journey memoirs and impressions about Edirne in a magazine called Svetlina. Today, the memoirs of Minkov are an important source related to many subjects such as the situation of Edirne and its districts in 1870, the life of ethnic constituents, historical monuments and the reflection of the news about independence of churches between Bulgarians.
