Bulgarian Orthodox Church: Encyclopedia II - First Bulgarian Empire - The Bulgars

The Bulgars originated in central Asia but their origin is not entirely clear. The established theory is that the Bulgars are related to the Huns, and more distantly the Turks. However, this position is increasingly being challenged by a theory claiming Aryan-Pamirian origin for the Bulgars. Clues for this can be found in the advanced calendar and system of government of the early Bulgars. The Bulgars were governed by hereditary khans. There were several aristocratic families whose members, bearing military titles, formed a governing class. Bulgars we ...

Bulgarian Orthodox Church: Encyclopedia II - Old Church Slavonic - Basis and local influences

The only well-preserved manuscript of Moravian recension, the Kiev Folia, is characterised by the replacement of some Southern Slavonic phonetical and lexical features with Western Slavic ones. Manuscripts written in the medieval Bulgari ...
