A reproduction of Petar Bogdan's manuscript "On the Antiquity of the Fatherland and on Bulgarian Affairs" - the first treatise on the history of Bulgaria, written almost a century before the famous "Istoriya Slavyanobolgarskaya" (Slav-Bulgarian History) by Father Paisius of Hilendar - will be presented today at 11am at the Presidency by the National Archaeological Institute and Museum at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. 

Written in Latin and completed around 1667 by the Catholic cleric and man of letters Petar Bogdan, the 200-page manuscript is one of Bulgaria's most valuable written artefacts. It describes the Christian past and present of the Bulgarian lands and was intended to rally support in Catholic Europe for Bulgaria's liberation from Ottoman rule.
