КОНЦЕПТЪТ ЗА УЧАСТИЕТО НА СВ. КИРИЛ И СВ. МЕТОДИЙ В БЪЛГАРСКОТО ПОКРЪСТВАНЕ ВЪВ ВЪЗРОЖДЕНСКАТА НИ ИСТОРИОГРАФИЯ (XVIII В.)
THE CONCEPT OF THE PARTICIPATION OF ST. CYRIL AND ST. METHODIUS IN THE BULGARIAN BAPTIZING IN OUR RENAISSANCE HISTORIOGRAPHY (18 CENTURY)

Summary/Abstract: The Renaissance is that period of our history when the idea of time is changing. It is not a constant anymore. The Bulgarians want change. More like an outside expression of change. Because the inside change is already there. The moral and the moral priorities are changing. The nation is being born and it’s being emancipated. The first corpus (of compilation texts by Paisius, Yeromonah Spiridon and the anonymous compiler of the Zographian history) is a particular mythocompiler. “Slavonic-Bulgarian history” represents St. Methodius as khan Boris’s spiritual teacher. Yeromonah Spiridon tells that St. Cyril is a direct participant in the baptizing of the Bulgarian army in Tzarigrad, while the anonymous zographic compiler points out that Methodius sends Boris in Tzarigrad for a baptizing. The added hoax lets out a secondary mythology. This is a mythology that “legitimizes” past events. The reborning nation is rewriting its history hard, while at least leaving one real event in it and builds the fable around it.
