Electronic Research Infrastructure
for Bulgarian Medieval Written Heritage
The written heritage is the most reliable source of history of every nation and country and the basis of national identity
ERIBMWH provides digital research resources and tools for studying Bulgarian Medieval written heritage in terms of: diachronic linguistics, literary history, Bulgarian and European history, theology, cultural history and philosophy.
The Old Bulgarian language (Old Church Slavonic), created by the Holy Brothers Cyril and Methodius, functioned as a sacred language of all Orthodox Slavs in Southeastern Europe during the Middle Ages. That is why researchers interested in the history and culture of the Slavo-Byzantine Medieval word are using the RI. The introduction of digital technologies in such a conservative field as historical humanities not only optimizes the work of researchers but also creates the conditions for new research initiatives and projects.
