Bugarska i Srbija u delima Georgija Akropolita i Georgija Pahimera
Bulgaria And Serbia In The Historical Works Of George Akropolites And George Pachymeres

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the well-known historical works of George Akropolites and George Pachymeres from the viewpoint of their literary composition, structure, lexica and narrative techniques used for describing events and personalities from Bulgaria and Serbia. An attempt is made to surpass the “traditional” methodology and the usually applied standard approach that focuses almost exclusively to the search for the ‘strong’ historical facts in these literary works par excellence, in that way overlooking their strong literary character, careful expressions, sometimes evident and sometimes more subtle style differences whose purpose was to underline the focal points and the conclusions of the content of the stories — in short, the information and the stories about Bulgaria and Serbia by Akropolites and Pachymeres are analyzed in their entirety, viewed as the integral parts of the complex literary works, and not as isolated episodes, divided from the rest of the narrative.
