Summary/Abstract: Among the most significant contributions of Veselin Beševliev in Bulgarian science are his studies on the Byzantine sources for the rule of Khan Krum. He draws attention to the original texts of some sources that are little known in the Bulgarian science. Combining historical and philological methods of analysis, Beševliev makes an in-depth comparison of the individual texts, which sheds light on poorly studied historical events. Today, some of his theses have been revised, but this does not diminish their value, and his theories are the starting point for research by future generations of scientists.
