Editorial Reviews Review "Die Quellensammlung ist ein sehr hilfreiches Werk für alle, die an dem Thema interessiert sind. Sie öffnet einem globalen Leserkreis wichtige Dokumente zur bulgarischen Geschichte, die sonst nur einem engen Kreis von Fachwissenschaftlern zugänglich sind. Die Übersetzungen bieten ein wichtige Hilfsmittel für den akademischen Unterricht zur bulgarischen Geschichte außerhalb Bulgariens, sie bieten aber auch Spezialisten und einem allgemein am Thema interessierten Publikum einen wertvollen Einstieg in diese interessante Periode der ma. bulgarischen Geschichte".
