The purpose I pursue with this book is to compare the information that has come down to us from old writers and to draw some conclusions about the people who spread the Bulgarian state to the Balkans, without resorting to the numerous contemporary books that I have read and that fill my library.

I hope the book will find a ... |

"Уважаеми читателю, В ръцете си държиш най-кратката българска история, намерена в Зографския манастир и наречена Зографска българска история.
