The discoveries prove the literary activity of hymnographs both literary centers in Bulgaria during the earlest the time of the Old Bulgarian Christian culture - Preslav and Ohrid. The findings also show that one of the most explored Slavic hymnographs is Kliment Ohridski. Another unknown hymnographic work of Kliment Ohridski was found – Commendable canon of St. Mary Sunday aloud 2. However, in the canon model in additron to the both achrosignatures of Kliment also contains achrostichs with the names of Naum, Boyan and Boris. The time of the creation of the Commendable canon of St. Mary, and may be the period it was worked on in Octoechos or over. The first three are known as disciples of Cyril and Methodius and the fourth can be assumed to be the Bulgarian ruler. Weather creating laudable canon of Mary, and perhaps the period in which the work on texts or Octoechos over all Slavic collection (?) was probably between 886 and 893.
