From the life of P. R. Slaveykov in Constantinople and Edirne

In the District State Archives - V. Tarnovo there is a "Diary of Panayot Vassilev Typographov" (Fund 65, archive unit 221), in which we find interesting information about the public figure and teacher Petko R. Slaveykov. The author of this diary briefly described his life and intended what was written for his heirs. He was born in Tarnovo in March 1854. He studied until the first grade and in 1866, when his father died, he left school. His mother sent him to learn the abadji craft, to which he apprenticed for 4-5 months. Then he met P. R. Slaveykov and the following excerpt from his diary tells about the connections of Panayot V. Typographov with Slaveykov in Constantinople and Edirne.
