Collective. State and church: studies in medieval Bulgaria and Byzantium; Translated into English by collective; Edited bу V. Gjuzelev and K. Petkov. Sofia: American Research Center in Sofia, 2011, XI+300 p. ISBN 9789549257120
This collection presents thirteen studies dedicated to the history of medieval Bulgaria and Byzantium from the sixth to the fifteenth centuries. Offering snapshots of the cumulative expertise of three generations of Bulgarian scholars over a quarter of a century, it explores issues of critical import for the functioning of the church and state in medieval Bulgaria, and their intimate linkages to similar phenomena in Byzantium. A historiographical introduction tracing the development of the field in Bulgaria since the late nineteenth century and an annotated bibliography make this volume particularly useful to Byzantinists and scholars of the medieval Balkans.
