Summary/Abstract: This text looks into an interesting Bulgarian technical publication, namely the first Bulgarian book on radio-frequency engineering, A Wireless Telegraph (1905) by electronic engineer Boris Leshtov. Written both accessibly and for the masses, yet demonstrating detail and a comprehensiveness, this book acquainted the reader with the emergent world of a new means of communication, the radio. From a philological perspective, it serves as an intriguing testament to the introduction of hitherto unfamiliar technical terms into Bulgarian at the dawn of the 20th century. This text offers a detailed account of the ways in which new lexemes were introduced and of the apt neologisms coined by the book’s author. The significance of the first Bulgarian book on radio-frequency engineering is assessed.
