FA5: "St. Cyril and St. Methodius" University of Veliko Tarnovo
ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF ST. CYRIL AND ST. METHODIUS UNIVERSITY OF VELIKO TURNOVO
Our university was founded in 1963, as Brothers Cyril and Methodius Higher Institute of Education and on 14 October 1971 it was established as Bulgaria’s second university under its current name St Cyril and St Methodius
University of Veliko Turnovo. The year was deliberately chosen: 600
years earlier, in the fall of 1371, Euthymius, the renowned theologian
and writer and later Bulgarian Patriarch, returned from Mount Athos to
establish the medieval Turnovo Literary School in the Holy Trinity
Monastery near Turnovgrad, an institution whose reputation as a
prestigious medieval seat of learning spread the rich repository of
Bulgarian literary traditions far beyond the borders of the Second
Bulgarian Empire. The Turnovo Literary School had a powerful influence
on the development of the literature and literary language in Russia,
Serbia, and Romania and also greatly influenced the philosophy and
practice of the religious institutions in those countries. For these
reasons, despite its relatively short history as a university, Veliko
Turnovo University is the rightful heir to centuries-old traditions
dating back to the mission of Constantine-Cyril and Methodius among the
Slavs.
