The City of Ochrid and the Archbishopric in Ochrid in the Researches of Prof. Ivan Snegarov

Abstract

Professor Snegarov’s scientific activity encompasses a range of topics that significantly impact the history of Bulgaria and the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. This article analyzes two subjects that Professor Snegarov has studied extensively: the city of Ohrid and the Ohrid Archbishopric. Throughout his career, Professor Dr. Snegarov consistently devoted time and attention to these topics, considering them fundamental to Bulgarian historiography. His work is notable for its detailed examination of sources and well-documented factual contributions. In this way, he initiated a thorough and meticulous approach to studying every fact and event in church history—a methodology that has been continued by his successors and colleagues in the field.
