Името на Ямбол в „Брюжкия итинерарий“
The name of Yambol in the “Bruges Itinerary”

Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the so-called “Bruges Itinerary” and especially its part describing the route to Constantinople which passes through the present town of Yambol. The itinerary, most probably created in the 1380s, is preserved as a copy in a manuscript of ca. 1500 kept at the University Library in Ghent (Ms. 13). The text has been published several times, but all editions give the name of the town in the incorrect form Grenboel instead of the manuscript’s Gremboel, which is possibly to be understood as G<i>emboel, i.e. [jambol]. The article publishes a corrected version of the relevant part of the itinerary and examines the identifications which have been proposed for some of the unclear place-names in it.
