Remarks on Captives and Warriors in an Old Bulgarian Collection of Miracle Stories
When scholars’ efforts are focused on the ethnic, religious and social diversity in certain parts of the Byzantine commonwealth during the middle ages, the hagiographic literature stands out as a key primary source. One such source is a voluminous early tenth-century collection of miracle stories titled A Tale of the Iron Cross. Its essential role when trying to uncover data, specific information and truths about Bulgaria’s medieval past is unden…
Which Romans Are You Called the Emperor? Remarks on Theodore Daphnopates’ Correspondence to Tsar Symeon I (893 – 927) Concerning Byzantines in Bulgarian Captivity
The letters composed by the high Byzantine dignitary Theodore Daphnopates and sent to Bulgarian Tsar Symeon (r. 893–927; d. May 27, 927) on behalf of the Byzantine Emperor Romanos I Lekapenos (r. 920–944; d. June 15, 948) in the final phase of the prolonged Byzantine-Bulgarian war of 913–927 are well known. Daphnopates’ corre-spondence has provoked and will probably continue to provoke the research activity, due to its focus either on the aspects…
Disease, Healing and Medical Knowledge in an Old Bulgarian Collection of Miracle Stories
The Old Bulgarian hagiographical collection of miracle stories, named A Tale of the Iron Cross, is relatively well known among the scholars, but a sufficient number of its details still has not been studied properly. In fact, such a peculiarity seems somehow strange, especially if we take into consideration that the mixture of translated and original strata in the present Tale’s version does not hinder its significance as a valuable primary sourc…
Byzantine Battleships and Military Transport Vessels along the Hostile Shores
The establishment of the Bulgarian Khanate along the Lower Danube River and the Northern Black Sea coast changed the geo-political situation in the early medieval Southeastern Europe. It is beyond doubt that the Bulgarians did not develop navy or commercial fleets at that time. However, one cannot reveal substantial reserves about the statement that Khan Asparukh’ descendants were not completely disadvantaged by their Black Sea coastline that the…
The Spoils of War “Divided into Three Parts”
One can say without hesitation that during the highly dynamic medieval epoch rivalries and military clashes were of paramount importance in the struggles for dominance over the Balkan Peninsula. During the entire period, war-time activities included the capturing of those who had the misfortune to fall into the hands of the enemy. Various groups of soldiers and civilians alike have repeatedly tested the bitterness of captivity. Attempts to trace …
Prisoners of War in Early Medieval Bulgaria (Preliminary Remarks)
The work is concentrated on the problem of war prisoners in the chronological period of the existance of the so-called First Bulgarian state. The analysis is based predominantly on various Byzantine and selected Latin and Bulgarian sources from the epoch. With some exceptions, mostly for 707/708, 754/755, 763/764 and 774, the notices are concentrated around the events of 811–815/816, 837/838; 894–896, 917–30s and for a moment or two from the peri…
