Topic: Chernorizetz Hrabar


  
  Chernorizets Hrabar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chernorizets Hrabar (Bulgarian: Черноризец Храбър, also transliterated Chernorizetz Hrabar and Chernorizets Hrabr) was a medieval Bulgarian monk, scholar and writer working at the Preslav Literary School at the end of the 9th and the beginning of the 10th century (although some argue in favor of different time periods).
His appellation is correctly translated as "Hrabar, the Black Robe Wearer" (i.e., Hrabar The Monk), "Hrabar" ("Hrabr") being his given name, chernorizets being the lowest rank in the monastic hierarchy.
Chernorizets Hrabar is (as far as is known) the author of only one literary work, An Account of Letters (Bulgarian: За буквите, Old Bulgarian: О писменех /o pismenex/), which, on the other hand, was one of the most admired and popular works of literature written in Old Church Slavonic.

 History of the Bulgarian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The language is attested by a number of manuscripts from the late 10th and the early 11th century written at the Preslav and the Ohrid Literary School or some of the smaller literary centres surrounding them.
It was the medium of a rich literary activity — chiefly in the late 9th and the early 10th century — with writers such as Constantine of Preslav, John Exarch, Clement of Ohrid, Chernorizetz Hrabar and Naum of Preslav (Naum of Ohrid).
None of the works of those writers has, however, been preserved in the original; they are all attested by later copies.

 Mistery letters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Pointing out the “excellences” of the Slavonic script to the Greek alphabet, the Old-Bulgarian author Chernorizetz Hrabar claimed that if in Byzantium the creators of the Greek script were familiar to only few men-of-letters, in Bulgaria even school children knew that their letters had been conceived by Constantine-Cyril, the Philosopher.
the time when Chernorizetz Hrabar wrote his works, everything concerning the origin of the Slavonic script was absolutely clear.
But now that in the course of already two centuries Slav scholars from all over the world have developed heaps of theories on this subject, the questions and mysteries in the field are often more numerous than the points known.

Their task was to translate or explain, in transcripts from Greek into Bulgarian, not only the scared books needed for church service but also the enormous philosophical heritage of the fathers of the Christian church, and literary works (stories, novels, hymns).
The most talented among them (Chernorizetz Hrabar, Presbyter Kozma, Constantine of Preslav, John the Exarch and others) were authors of original pieces of diverse genres and topics.
Balkan peoples closest to Bulgaria — Serbs and Croatians, were among the first subjected to some form of Bulgarian spiritual expansion.
