Miscellany (Puncho)
Miscellany is a collection of sermons and other religious texts, by Puncho Kuzdin, a priest and pupil of Paisius of Hilendar who compiled, scribed and illustrated it by 1796, in a village near Mokreš Lomu. Today it is in the SS. Cyril and Methodius National Library in Sofia. The 809 pages are 20.5 х 15 centimeters.
The collection is an important witness to the nascent modern literary Bulgarian language, as written by an educated man using the commonly spoken language of Bulgarian. The text is accompanied by several miniatures, including two self-portraits.
