The author tries to explore to what extent the Byzantine style of writing and presenting the history contributes to the emergence of certain blank spaces, i.e. events, devoid of specific information and actors in the history of the Bulgarian lands between 4th to 15th centuries. The book pays attention to the effects of Revivalist discourse in filling in the old blank spaces, the emergence of new blank spaces and the creation of new identity codes of the Bulgarians - codes that had been unknown in the Middle Ages. The book is part of the Project "Byzantine Memory and the Memory of Byzantium".
