A diglot in Slavonic and Bulgarian, both in Church Slavic character, and printed in parallel columns. The translation of the New Testament into Bulgarian was begun in 1820 by the Archimandrite Theodosius, with the sanction of Gregory, Patriarch of Constantinople, and at the request of R. Pinkerton of the British and Foreign Bible Society, which had granted the Russian Bible Society £200 towards the expense of publishing a Bulgarian Testament. In 1826 the Russian Bible Society was suppressed, and by that date only this portion of Theodosius' version, with the Slavonic, had been published.
