	Bogomilism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bogomilism is the Gnostic dualistic sect, the synthesis of Armenian Paulicianism and the local Slavonic Church reform movement in Bulgaria and Bosnia-Herzegovina between 950 and 1396.
		The Bogomils are identified with the Massaliani in Slavonic documents of the 13th century.
		The Bogomils repudiated infant baptism, and considered the baptismal rite to be of a spiritual character neither by water nor by oil but by self-abnegation, prayers and chanting of hymns.

		Bogomilism is the Gnostic dualistic Sect, the Synthesis of Armenian Paulicianism and local Slavonic Church reform movement in Bulgaria between 950 and 1396.
		Concerning the Bogomils something can be gathered from the information collected by Euthymius Zygadenus in the 12th century, and from the polemic Against the Heretics written in Slavonic by St Kozma during the 10th century.
		The Bogomils spread westwards, and settled first in Serbia; but at the end of the 12th century Stephen Nemanya, king of Serbia, persecuted them and expelled them from the country.

		Bogomilism, as it came to be called, spread through various parts of the Balkans and by the twelfth century was well established in Bosnia.
		The Kulin, the Bosnian leader, converted to Bogomilism and established it firmly throughout Bosnia, where it came to be known as the 'Bosnian Church.' Bogomilism shared many common characteristics with Catharism or Albigensianism--in particular a belief in a Manichaean dualism--and was eventually condemned as a heresy by both the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
		Bogomilism disappeared from history when Bulgaria was conquered by the Turks at the end of the 14th century, but the movement had begun to decline from the beginning of the century.

	Bogomilism in Macedonia
		According to its context Bogomilism is a religious heresy, but its content it is a social movement conditioned by the economic and political circumstances in the country where it emerged.
		The anti-feudal essence of Bogomilism is reflected in its social and political viewpoints and in the framework of its mystic and religious conceptions.
		That Bogomilism had distinct features of a liberation movement is supported by the fact that the komitopulis David, Moysey, Aran and Samuil, sons of the Komitadji Nikola, accepted Bogomilism and began a rebellion in 869 resulting in breaking Macedonia away from the Bulgarian Empire, establishing the first Slavic-Macedonian state.

	Bogomilism and woman
		This difference is explained by the central myth of the Bogomil heresy according to which the human soul was an angel placed within its clay wrapping of a body by scheming Satan himself.
		Their participation in modern for this epoch activity, in the formation of the beginning of a humanistic approach in the culture and social behaviour is an undeniable fact in the Cathar civilization of Provence sa well in the Lollard circles in England.
		First, that that Bogomils and Cathars, as well as the heresies close to them, were a powerful, even a main stream in the twelfth century Renaissance in the way they placed women in an equal position.

		Furthermore, since the Bogomils held that there was war between Good and Evil and that this war would inevitably end with the victory of the Good, they sounded the reveille for struggle against the whole of the existing socio-political establishment.
		Bogomilism crossed the Bulgarian borders and in the next few centuries enjoyed large-scale diffusion in the Balkan countries, Russia and Western Europe.
		Bogomilism was undoubtedly a clear expression of the vehement social protest against the feudal oppression.

	The books by Gilles C H Nullens - Part A: Old Craft - A.6 Bogomils and Cathars
		Bogomilism is, by tradition, believed to have originated in Macedonia and Thrace, while the priest Bogomil is generally credited for its crystallization and spread.
		Initiation into Bogomil and Cathar teachings proceeded gradually and the ordinary believers were not introduced to the inner doctrine that was only taught to the "perfecti", those who had received the "Consolamentum" and, as a result, were assumed to be able to understand the "Mysteries of the Kingdom of God".
		Basil the Bogomil was an important leader of the Bogomil movement in the early twelfth century.

		A dualist and docetist sect that arose and flourished in mediæval Bulgaria and Macedonia, the Bogomils derive their name from their founder, the priest Bogomil (Theophilus) and their teachings from the Paulicans, a Manichæan group settled in Thrace in the late VIII Century.

		The Bogomils were against the official state order as it represented the authority of the rich and "bad" over the poor and "good".
		The Bogomils had a large number of followers between the tenth and the twelfth centuries when Bulgaria was in a period of enormous political and economic crisis.
		This second point can be illustrated by only two of the postulates in the rigorous ethics of the Bogomils, prescribing for babies and young children to be subjected to maltreatment because they are His Satanic Majesty's spawn and for the adepts and, possibly, all disciples to avoid matrimony and be celibate instead.

	SFOR - History of Bosnia and Herzegovina
		Bogomilism was eradicated in Bulgaria and Byzantium in the 13th century, but thrived in Bosnia until the Ottoman Empire gained control of the region in 1463.
		The early pressures by its Catholic and Orthodox neighbours drew Bosnia to Bogomilism.
		Later, with the introduction of Ottoman rule, Bosnians were often more susceptible for conversion to Islam since they were not friends of either the Roman Catholic or Serb Orthodox churches, and also to continue to avoid the Catholic/Orthodox trap set by their regional neighbours.

		A priest of the name of Bogomil spread a teaching which was to accumulate the contempt for the Tsar, the Boyars and the clergy for centuries.
		Bogomilism repudiated the state and the church, believing them to be a creation of Evil, of Satan.
		The numerous followers of Bogomilism were disastrous for state order, while famine, droughts and Boyars' unrest were undermining the power of the state.

		After the victory of the komitopulis and the establishment of a Macedonian kingdom, the Bogomils ceased to verbally attack the upper classes — the king, royal officials and high clergy — and allied with them, although Samuil's state was as feudal as those of Boris and Petar.

	The Bogomils - Cambridge University Press
		The Bogomils derived elements of their doctrine and practice from the Manichaeans and the Paulicians.
		By the reign of Alexius Comnenus, Bogomilism was rife within the Bulgarian and Byzantine empire and had taken hold even amongst influential families in Constantinople itself.
		Though they suffered persecution, decline and ultimate disappearance in their Balkan heartlands, the Bogomils were subsequently an influence upon more celebrated heresies in France and Italy.

		Briefly, its tenets were that Satan was the first born son of God the Father, Jesus the second, that matter was the creation of Satan and that obeying governments and kings was forbidden by God, as was the hierarchy of the Greek Orthodox church.
		Bogomilism probably owed its origins to Armenians transplanted to the region by Byzantium, who were devotees of the Paulician sect, a group with markedly similar beliefs.
		Bogomilism probably also spread to Italy and France, influencing or even bringing into being the Cathar or Albigensian heresy.

		It was, they said, a memorial service in which the Founder of Christianity had to commemorate his sacrifice of himself for the sins of the world, so all true believers should partake in it as a token of their remembrance of him and of their gratitude for his redemptive work.
		The Bogomils were extremely ascetical and rejected marriage, since it was an attachment based on the body and its sexual appetites.
		Bogomilism remained the dominant religion in some parts of the Balkans until the Turkish invasions of the 15th century, after which many Bogomils converted to Islam.

		The Bogomils believed that the material world was Satan's creation, and they rejected the Old Testament, the incarnation of Christ, the sacraments, the cross and the entire organization of the Christian church.
		In spite of periods of relative independence, Bosnia continued to be pressured and attacked by its neighbors--by the Catholic Croats, Hungarians, and Venetians to the north and west, and by the Orthodox Serbs to the east and south.
		What is evident is that Bogomilism quickly disappeared, and today almost all that remains are enigmatically carved stone sarcophagi that, here and there, grace remote areas of the rugged Bosnian and Herzegovinian landscape.

		Lately it has generally been admitted that the Bulgarian Bogomilism of the 11th century and the western Catharism from the 12 to the 14th century are one and the same religion.
		The Bogomilism as a religion disappeared from the Balkans with the conquest by the Turks from 1463 to 1481.
		Probably the Bogomilism spread to the West from the Balkans but this does not mean that there were no spontaneous germs of Dualism in the West.

		The now defunct Gnostic social-religious movement and doctrine originated in the time of Peter I of Bulgaria (927-969) as a reaction against state and clerical oppression.
		It is difficult to ascertain whether the name was taken from the reputed founder of that movement, priest Bogumil or Bogomil, (Bulgarian: поп Богомил - 'поп' [pop] means literally priest -- father -- in Bulgarian) or whether he assumed that name after it had been given to the whole sect.
		Concerning the Bogomils something can be gathered from the information collected by Euthymius Zygadenus in the 12th century, and from the polemic Against the Newly-Appeared Heresy of the Bogomils written in Slavonic by St Kozma during the 10th century.

		As to the Bogomils, there is little reason to suppose that any considerable portion of the adult population embraced Mohammedanism.
		But though thus apparently stamped out in the land of its birth and its greatest triumphs, under the heel of the fanatic Turk, the doctrine of these martyrs of the faith survived and in more western lands pervaded and influenced the religious life, the social condition, and the literature of the subsequent centuries.
		Milton had passed some years in Italy and in close association with the Waldenses the representatives of the Bogomils in Italy and Piedmont, and as Cromwell's secretary of state he nobly interfered in their behalf.

	WYCLIFFE AND BOGOMILISM
		Dualism is the philosophy that gave birth to the initiative of translating the New Testament into English, and the translation carries in itself the imprint of that philosophy.
		This is a familiar dualistic idea, directly embodied in the Secret Book of the Bogomils where John with head resting on the brest of Christ, receives Christ's explanation of the origin and structure of the universe.
		That cultural upsurge was in harmony with the brilliance of the Cathar civilisation in Provence, with the cultural and literary activity of the Bulgarian and Bosnian Bogomils.

		Nikolova raises and demonstrates for the first time the issue of the "Bogomil iconography." The academic matter is presented in a consistent analytical composition and in a language that is comprehensible to non-specialists as well.
		She is seeking the "genetics of the spirit" in ideas, motifs and images from the Thracian Orphic reality and the Christian experience to the 19th century church exterior.
		Nikolova rejects the familiar interpretations of the Secret Book of the Bogomils here, at the crossroads of controversial cultural, political and religious tendencies, defining it not as a dualistic manifestation, but as a strictly monotheistic work of the first Christians, dated to the 1st or the first half of the 2nd century.

		The Turkish triumph was the opportunity of the Bogomils, who thenceforth, assuming a new character, controlled the Bosnia destinies of their country for more than three centuries.
		Thus the desire for vengeance and the prospect of a brilliant military career impelled the Bogomil magnates to adopt the creed of Islam, which, in its austerity, presented some points of resemblance to their own doctrines.
		In every important campaign of the Turkish armies, these descendants of the Bogomils were represented; they amassed considerable wealth from the spoils of war, and frequently rose to high military and administrative positions.
