Проникване и разпространение на българската Възрожденска книжнина в град Крайова през ХІХ в. (до 1878 г.)
Penetration and proliferation of Bulgarian Revival literature in the town of Craiova in the 19th Century (until 1878)

Summary/Abstract: The work traces the penetration and proliferation of the Bulgarian Revival literature (books, newspapers, magazines, calendars) among the Bulgarian community in the Romanian town of Craiova in the 19th century (until 1878). The study is based on sponsorship lists (pre-subscription) to books published at that time as well as other evidence from the era. Between the 1830s and the 1870s thanks to that kind of sponsorship, the local Bulgarians became familiar with publications whose authors, translators or compilers were famous Bulgarian writers and public figures such as An. Kipilovski, Raino Popovich, G. S. Rakovski, Sava Dobroplodni, P. R Slaveykov, Dobri Voynikov, Lyuben Karavelov and others. Some of the most zealous admirers and distributors of this literature in Craiova were Dr. Peter Beron, Hadzhi Danilovs brothers and others. The dissemination of the Bulgarian Revival press, the one published in Constantinople, as well as the one printed in the Bulgarian emigrant centers in Romania and Serbia, is also included in the article. The results show that, compared to other major centers of the Bulgarian diaspora in Romania (Bucharest, Galaţi, Braila), fewer publications appeared in Craiova, which reduced their impact on the national awakening of the Bulgarian community and diminished the role of the Bulgarian residents there in the Bulgarian national revival.
