Paisius of Hilendar
There is a scientific dispute about the exact place of his birth, although the prevailing consensus points to the town of Bansko.Collecting materials for two years through hard work and even visiting the Habsburg monarchy, he finished his Istoriya Slavyanobolgarskaya in 1762 in the Zograf Monastery.Why are you ashamed to call yourself a Bulgarian and why don't you read and speak in your native language?"This more or less signifies the purpose of the author who speaks about the danger of Bulgarians falling victim to the Hellenization policies of the mainly Greek clergy.As Paisius toured Bulgaria as a mendicant friar, he brought his work, which was copied and spread among the Bulgarians.
