Summary/Abstract: This work presents the results of a study of the currently preserved private library of Petar Danov, the Master. A bibliographic identification of the collection is performed, the data are analyzed chronologically, in linguistic and thematic aspect. Most significant Bulgarian and foreign authors and their works related to the interests and creative pursuits of Petar Danov are researched. The inscriptions and autographs left on individual specimens are studied in details. The study is the first attempt to present the private library of Petar Danov thouroughly, with full bibliographic database, by exploring even the limited historical records of some modifications in it as a result of persecution, confiscations of books and repressions against supporters of his teachings.
