What was written about writing? (On the Material of Medieval Glosses and Marginal Notations in Old Bulgarian Literature): The article discusses the content of marginal notations extracted from Bulgarian manuscripts from 10th–16th century containing comments on the process of writing. The author focuses on notations that not only refer to the conditions, under which medieval codes are produced, but above all refer to the physical act of creating the text itself. The glosses discussed in the article describe specific writing materials – parchment, paper, ink and feathers. Information extracted from these marginal notations is confronted with the current knowledge on medieval writing methods.
