Българското паство между Охрид и Търново в началото на ХІІІ в.
Bulgarian flock between Ohrid and Tŭrnovo in the beginning of the 13th century

Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of the 13th century, the Bulgarian flock was divided between the Bulgarian Church in Tŭrnovo and the autocephalous Church of “All Bulgaria” in Ohrid (The Archbishopric of Ohrid). In the context of their interrelations, the study interprets the features of cultural and religious life in the Archbishopric of Ohrid, related to its predominantly Bulgarian flock. The interaction and continuity of this cultural heritage in the Bulgarian kingdom is also traced. In this regard, the ideological environment, literary production, judicial practice in the Archbishopric is examined, as well as the coexistence of the morals, religiosity and pagan customs in the everyday life of the Bulgarian flock. These tasks have been achieved thanks to the evidence of the Ponemata diaphora collection of personal and official letters, verdicts and proceedings of the Synodal Court at Ohrid as well as the literary works of the famous Byzantine clergyman, writer and canonist Demetrios Chomatenos, the Archbishop of Ohrid (1216–1236), Shepherd of the Bulgarians.
