Summary/Abstract: For more than two centuries, the Rila Monastery was part of the Samokov Eparchy of the Peć Patriarchy, even though as a stavropigial lavra it had a special status. Even after the abolishment of the self-rule, it was venerated and visited by both Bulgarians and Serbs, and, following the establishment of the autonomous Principality of Serbia in 1830, and autonomous Serb Metropolitan in 1831, its brethren maintained intensive ties with Serbian state and church institutions. This can be seen in the primary sources, like the 1865 and 1870 letters of the Serb Metropolitan Mihailo (Jovanović) to the Prior of the Rila Monastery. The letters discuss education of Rila monks in the Belgrade School of Theology, migration of monks from Bulgarian lands to Serbia, and canonical procedures used to confirm their priestly ranks. The enclosed letters have been critically edited, including identification of places and persons, as well as paleographic and diplomatic description. They are transcribed into the contemporary Serbian writing, but with preserving an authentic idiom in which they have been written.
