Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of all the facts and tendencies, concerning the Cyrillo-Methodian heritage in Mediaeval Bulgaria, as they are exposed in the writings of two Byzantine Archbishops of Bulgaria from the late 11th and the middle of the 12th c. – Theophylactos of Ohrid (mainly his Long life of St. Clement of Ohrid) and loannes Comnenos (the nephew of emperor Alexios I Comnenos), who ruled the Church of Bulgaria when the so called List of Bulgarian Archbishops (The Du Conge Catalogue) was completed. In conclusion the investigation points to similarities between the analyzed historical sources in interpretation of facts, considering the activities of St. Cyril and St. Methodius and their disciples in Bulgaria, aiming the recognition of high status and full ecclesiastical independence of the Church of Bulgaria (= The Archbishopric of Ohrid).
