Summary
A comparative analysis of Bulgarian and Russian graffiti from the Boyana Church (13th–15th centuries) and 14th-century Novgorodian churches reveals common paleographic patterns despite geographical separation. The study identifies shared trends in script development during a period of South Slavic influence, while also highlighting regional variations. This research advances understanding of medieval Slavic epigraphy by bridging gaps between previously understudied graffiti and manuscript traditions.
