Summary/Abstract: Some biographical facts about the life of Nikola pop Lazarov are clarified in the following article. In mart-april 1811 he writes a copy of the Gheravna transcription of the History of Paisiy of Hilendar in the town of Ruse after which he returns to his home town of Elena. There, in 1820 – 1821 he comes across another transcription of the History of Paisiy (by Hilendar from 1820) containing additional new records about the life of Saint Dimitar of Besarbovo. Perhaps due this in 1824 he visits the Ruse region again – his name can be found on the church in Krasen village and in the rock monastery near the village of Besarbovo.
