I guess the only problem the Frenchman had with labeling it as Bulgarian was that they saw that there was already a Bulgar Turkic language with the same name. To avoid confusion, they named it Macedonian, as it was found in Kostur/Kastoria, Macedonia.Originally Posted by PAGANE
About the dictionary from Kostur / "The Kostur Bulgarian-Greek dictionary from the XVI century" / in Bulgarian from the 16th century, found in the Vatican, but when published in 50 years, manipulated by two French professors. The original reads Bulgarian. It was handed over to the Vatican in 1620, but it seems to be older, that is, from the 16th century. The book was discovered as part of a large codex in the Vatican Library (Cap. S. Pietro C 152), and is a Greek text, probably written by a person named Gin, containing several pages of Greek words translated into Bulgarian and one Bulgarian song with erotic content. It dates from the 16th century and was donated to the Vatican in 1620.It was discovered by a cardinal named Mercanti, who encouraged French professors Siro Giannielli and Andre Valant.The latter translated everything from it, except the words "Bulgarian", replacing them with "Macedonian". This is widely circulated on the English-speaking Internet, as a clear proof of the Macedonian dictionary and language, respectively.Extreme scientific dishonesty ....Here are the texts, you will clearly see the inscription in the title "BULGARIAN", as well as the words from the dictionary.
And the words in the dictionary with Cyrillic transcription
The story must be adequate to the facts and then there is no problem.In this case, we are talking about a pure lie on the part of the two professors, and this is not history.
I don't see any other reason they would lie about it. Unless you think they were influenced by the communists?
But granted. Yes, it appears the original says Bulgarian in Greek letters.
Very interesting and quite astounding is the fact that alot of those words noted from the 16th century still exist in modern Macedonian. It looks like Macedonian has been preserved very well down the centuries.
But im sure you would agree, by looking at those words, that it appears they look different from what you know to be the standard Bulgarian language today in Bulgaria? (yes i know your language is based off the eastern dialects).
Following is a list of sentences made up using the words in that same source. And how they compare to the Bitola dialect (Bitola dialect was the basis of the standard Macedonian language).
16th cent., Kostur dialect
21st cent., Bitola dialect
Gospodine, brate, da si zdrav, da si prost, ostavi ni da spime, ela da jame, i da pieme, dol da pojdime, da rabotime.
Gospodine, brate, da si zdrav, da si prost, ostai ne da spiame, ela da jaime, i da piame, dolu da pojdime, da rabotime.
Imate hljap-o da kupime, imate vino da kupime, ot koja strana da pojdime vo Bogasko.
Imate lep da kupime, imate vino da kupime, od koja strana da pojdime vo Bogatsko.
This is the front cover of the translation by the Frenchmen:
