King Simeon the Great

Цар Симеон Велики (893–927)

Author(s): Rasho Rashev / Language(s): Bulgarian

Keywords: King Simeon the Grea; Majesty

Rasho Rashev’s book does not have a monolithic character. It does not comprehensively reveal the time and activities of King Simeon the Great, but consists of several studies, which the author himself defines as “touches to his personality and work”. In them a very interesting and largely successful attempt has been made to seek answers to questions that have remained outside the attention of previous researchers or have been little addressed by them. Among the themes he discusses are: the notion of the king as a “vassal peacemaker”, a “new Moses”, a “new David”; Simeon’s nature as the “last proto-Bulgarian”; his activities as a historian and his attitude to the Name Book of the Bulgarian Khans and to the pagan past of his ancestors. Rasho Rashev’s interpretation is not only original and attracts with its new ideas, but also predisposes to reflection. It greatly enriches the image of the great Bulgarian king.

Author(s): Vera Boneva / Language(s): Bulgarian

Keywords: hero; martyr of the struggle for church independence; scribe Educator; senior church priest

Hilarion of Macariopolis was as if destined for asceticism – which he continued to the end. Standing up like a fearless general, during the thirty years of uninterrupted struggle already begun and waged, he had seen with a broken heart many brave, indefatigable, and deserving friends slain in the ranks of the general division. There was that in his soul which makes a personality fearless, unyielding from failures, stronger from hits. On the contrary, the dangers exhilarated him, the failures increased his energy for new attempts, and his friends only encouraged him. For he saw in the constant fierceness of the blows the great weakening of his adversary. He did not grow more fighting man, but (grew) more rigid. The coolness of the fight never left him.
