Кирило-методиевската проблематика в книжнината на Охридската архиепископия (ХІ–ХІІІ в.)
The Topic of Cyril and Methodius in the Literature of the Ohrid Archbishopric (11th through 13th Centuries). On Bulgarian

Summary/Abstract: The literary activity that developed within the Ohrid Archbishopric during the period from its emergence in the early eleventh century to the time when Demetrios Chomatianos sat on the archbishopric see in Ohrid (early thirteenth century) was diverse and rich The issues related to the work of the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius and the transfer of this work to Bulgaria during the time of Prince Boris I occupy an important place in it. This is due to the fact that these questions were used by the Ohrid archbishops to defend the independent status of the archdiocese in relation to the Patriarchate of Constantinople. The following sources are of the most essential importance for tracing the Cyril and Methodius theme in the writings of the high church clergy, who headed the archbishopric during the period under study: 1) Comprehensive Life of St. Clement of Ohrid also known as The Long Life of Clement written by Archbishop Theophylact in the eleventh century; 2) The preserved list of the Ohrid archbishops, compiled in the middle of the 12th century during the time of Archbishop John Comnenus (the so-called DuCange’s List); and 3) The Short Life of St. Clement of Ohrid, written in the 13th century by Archbishop Demetrios Chomatianos.
