Clothing terminology in medieval Bulgarian literature

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses examples of clothing terminology in Medieval Bulgarian literature. The purpose of this work is to trace the words in the literature and have been used by the Bulgarians in the Middle Ages. They are described in the table and examine their significance as a historical source. In addition to concepts of clothing in general, there are those associated with certain functions and social role. Tzars, monks, priests and military (in their case, protective armor) wear clothes and accessories, specific to them and they have own names. Some of the words are by Old Bulgarian language, other interpretations of translation from Greek or Latin. The language displays a wide variety of terminology, probably prompted by translation works, used synonyms and derivatives words. There are terms for clothing as a whole, for its individual elements or parts of clothing, other specific to certain social groups, shoes and more.
