Abstract
Handwritten literature was common in Ottoman Bulgaria up to the first half of the 19th century. The following text discusses reception of early modern Bulgarian printed works – Sunday Book (1806) by Sophronius of Vratsa and Tale of the Terrible Second Coming of Christ (1814) by Yoakim Karchovski – by damaskini writers from different areas (Macedonia, Central Rhodopes). Comparison of changes made by the transcribers illustrates the character and extent of influence of these works on the standardization of modern Bulgarian literary norm.
