Ivan N. Petrov's The Development of the Bulgarian Literary
Language: From Incunabula to First Grammars, Late Fifteenth-Early
Seventeenth Century examines the history of the first printed
Cyrillic books and their role in the development of the Bulgarian
literary language. In the literary culture of the Southern Slavs,
especially the Bulgarians, the period that began at the end of the
fifteenth century and covered the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries is often seen as a foreshadowing of the pre-national era
of modern times. In particular, the centuries-old manuscript
tradition was gradually replaced by the Cyrillic printed book,
which-after the incunabula of Krakow and Montenegro-was published
in such centers as Targoviste, Prague, Venice, Serbian monasteries,
Vilnius, Moscow, Zabludow, Lviv, Ostroh, and many others. Petrov
shows how the study of old Slavic prints is closely linked to the
processes that determined the emergence of modern literary
languages in the Slavia Orthodoxa area, including the influence of
the liturgical Church Slavonic language shared by the Orthodox
Slavs, which was increasingly standardized and codified at that
time. The perspective of a language historian brings new light to
the complex and multidimensional issues of this important
transitional period of Slavic history and culture.
