NATIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY BULGARIA What is presented on this page are standard bibliographical sources that comprise Bulgarian national bibliography in both the generic sense of the phrase and the more specific. That means that the sources listed here attempt to be comprehensive for the subjects and time periods that they cover and/or are part of the official series Natsionalna bibliografiia na NR Bulgariia.

Both of these series are arranged by type of publication and then by subject with indexes in each issue and cumulative annual indexes. Now the Bulgarian national bibliography appears in eight subseries, some of which are discussed in other sections.

Most of the titles below cover monographic items, as and for Bulgaria are presented elsewhere. There is also a separate page for which includes bibliographies of dissertations, of specific publishers and other works that do not constitute national bibliography.

Modern Bulgarian publishing and bibliography had a rather late start compared to some of the other Slavic nations. (This page does not cover Old Bulgarian or OCS manuscripts and documents).

Consider that by 1878 only about 1,650 Bulgarian books had been published. Since 1878 thousands more titles have been published and the Bulgarians then made a few attempts at comprehensive bibliographic coverage before the 1897 Bulgarski knigopis was established. 1897 was the year that a law was passed on legal deposit of printed items. After World War II a Soviet style national bibliography took hold with separate series for different types of materials.

All of these series are discussed either below or in one of the other pages devoted to Bulgarian resources. For brief summaries of the history and development of bibliography in Bulgaria see Hristo Trenkov's 'Bulgarian bibliography,' Slavonic and East European Review, Dec 1968, pp.259-277 and 's 'Bulgarska bibliografiia,' in Sbornik v chest na akademik Nikola V. Mikhov po sluchai osemdesetgodishninata mu, Sofiia, 1959, pp.99-110. Another item of interest is Tsenko Tsvetanov's Materiali po istoriia na bulgarskata bibliografiia do osvobozhdenieto which discusses the earliest developments in Bulgarian bibliography.

Pogorelov, Valerii. Sofiia: Durzhavna pechatnitsa, 1923. UIUC Call Number: Bulgarian Reference + Main Stacks 015.497 P75o Although most of the over 1600 items covered in this bibliography are presented in other retrospective bibliographies of pre-1878 Bulgarian books (some are discussed below), this work is included here because of the kind of information given in the entries. Not only is there bibliographic data, but often there is also contents with page number and sometimes even excerpts from the text.

The entries are arranged chronologically with indexes for authors and anonymous works. Reshebnik praktikum po matematike dlya podgotovki k ct fedorako 3. In fact, the chronological arrangement is one of the reasons the compiler created this bibliography. The other important bibliographies that handle material from this time period are arranged by main entry. With the chronological arrangement one can more easily trace the development of Bulgarian publishing and scholarly activity.

There is also a union listing component showing which libraries hold which title. The abbreviations are explained in the preface.

Note that the bibliography is printed in the older Bulgarian alphabet.
