Historical Dictionaries of Europe, No. 46
Lanham, Maryland–Toronto–Oxford: The Scarecrow Press, Inc.
2006
–637 p.
This new edition of "The Historical Dictionary" is compiled in a time of slow but steady economic recovery and relative political stability in Bulgaria. It offers better opportunities for a serene assessment of personalities, organizations, and events to be included in a book like this. This dictionary is not intended to diminish the first edition, which remains a reliable guide through Bulgarian history and a valuable source of information about the early years of Bulgarian transition, but rather to stress the particular nature of this new edition. In this volume, due attention is paid to contemporary facts and developments, but in a more selective way, from a genuine historical point of view.
Many of the entries in the first edition have been omitted from this edition, and even more new entries have been added. Almost all of the entries of the first edition that have remained were updated, adjusted, and—whenever necessary—corrected. Information on important new facts and insights that Bulgarian and foreign historians brought to the fore have been incorporated in this second edition to the extent that they are of interest to a non-specialized readership.
