First Bulgarian Tsardom

Naum

c. 830–910

Life

Naum belonged to the community of Slavonic scholars of the late ninth and early tenth centuries. After the Moravian mission ended, Bulgaria offered some of the disciples a new place to work. Written evidence and archaeological finds inform us about these centres; a single object rarely identifies its maker. Was a disciple of Cyril and Methodius. Reached Bulgaria with Clement and Angelarius. His name is associated with literary centres and Ohrid. Literary work was collective; every letter or book should not be assigned to one person.
