Bulgarian historiography
Certified Bulgarian historiography dates back to the 17th century. The question of the existence of original Old Bulgarian historiography from the time of the First Bulgarian State and the Second Bulgarian State is one of the most complex unresolved issues in Medieval studies. [1]
In principle, the terms Bulgarian Historiography and Historiography of Bulgaria overlap, given that until the liberation of Bulgaria there are only two stories (the first of Bulgaria and the second of Bulgarians) written by foreign authors - Blasius Kleiner (1761) and on Konstantin Jireček (1876).
Bulgaria and the Bulgarians are widely attested in medieval chronicles and writings, but their thematic independent history is absent until the 17th century. The first major work concerning Bulgarian history is the Kingdom of the Slavs. It serves to support many other works. [2]
From 1667 dates the first independent Bulgarian history of Petar Bogdan, which is entitled „About the antiquity of the father land and the Bulgarian affairs”. It is debatable whether it was printed in Venice at all, but this story remains without any social significance. The author is Bulgarian but a Catholic missionary since the time of so-called Catholic propaganda. [3]
It was not until the next 18th century that the Enlightenment and the Bulgarian Renaissance was composed of the so-called „Istoriya Slavyanobolgarskaya”, which played a huge role and was of fundamental importance for Bulgarian historiography.
Bulgarian historiography on a scientific basis was placed only in the 19th century before the liberation of Bulgaria. The main credit for this is due to two authors - Spiridon Palauzov with his „Century of the Bulgarian Tsar Simeon”, ie. The Golden Age of medieval Bulgarian culture (1852) and Konstantin Jireček with his „History of the Bulgarians” (1876).

On the one hand, there were literary schools, on the other, the Bulgarian political elite under Tsar Samuel was integrated into the rule of Byzantium during the Komnenos era. Anna Komnene is a descendant of the Cometopuli dynasty by her mother. Since the time of Tsar Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria there are Bulgarian coins however, there are no preserved historiographic works that may and purposefully have been destroyed similarly to Bogomil literature.
