Bitola inscription

Bitola inscription

The Bitola inscription is a medieval stone inscription written in Old Church Slavonic. It was found in 1956 during the demolition of an old Ottoman mosque in the town of Bitola, Republic of Macedonia and it is now kept at the Institute and Museum of Bitola. ["Among the most significant findings of this period presented in the permanent exhibition is the epigraphic monument a marble slab with Cyrillic letters of Jovan Vladislav from 1015/17." The official site of the [http://www.muzejbt.org.mk/en_files/arheoloska_postavka_en.htm N. I. Institute and Museum] of Bitola, retrieved on October 9, 2007.] The text commemorates the fortification works on the fortress of Bitola under one Tsar Ivan. It is believed to date either from c.1015, in which case the monarch in question would be Tsar Ivan Vladislav of Bulgaria, or, according to some scholars, from the 13th century, in which case it would be Tsar Ivan Asen of Bulgaria.Lunt, Horace (1982): On dating Old Church Slavonic bible manuscripts.

Text

The text of the inscription is partially damaged.The text in Old Bulgarian, with some conjectures made by Vladimir Moshin and Iordan Zaimov to reconstruct the damaged parts, reads as follows: [Мошин, Владимир. Битољска плоча из 1017. год. // Македонски jазик, ХVІІ, 1966, с. 51-61] Заимов, Йордан. Битолският надпис на цар Иван Владислав, самодържец български. Епиграфско изследване, София 1970 For criticism of this reconstruction, see: Lunt, Horace G. (1972): [review of Zaimov] . "Slavic Review" 31: 499.]
