Summary/Abstract: In the paper the author discusses thirteen accounts about Bulgarians and Bulgarian history in Summa historialis by St. Antoninus of Florence. The events included in Antoninus’s narrative took place between the 5th and the 14th century AD. The Sources of Summa historialis have been studied repeatedly; however, there are details that deserve further analysis. The author of the research uses comparative approach to determine the level of innovation in representing traditional accounts and narrative motifs on Bulgarian history reconstructing thus the role and the significance of Bulgarians in medieval Christian Europe in the notion of St. Antoninus of Florence and his contemporaries.
