Paisij Hilendarski

Japanese: パイシー（英語表記）Paisij Hilendarski

1722‐98
A Bulgarian monk. Some say he died in 1773. In 1745 he became a monk at Hilandar Monastery on Mount Athos in Greece, but in order to raise national consciousness among the Bulgarian people, who had been under Ottoman Turkish rule for nearly 400 years, he aimed to compile the forgotten history of his country, and devoted himself to collecting old historical materials and writing about it. His manuscript, History of the Slavic Bulgarians (written in 1762), was widely copied and became an ideological guide for the Bulgarian national revival in the 18th and 19th centuries.

1722‐98
ブルガリアの修道士。没年については1773年との説もある。1745年ギリシアのアトス山のヒランダル修道院で修道士になったが，400年近くオスマン･トルコの支配下にあったブルガリア人の民族的自覚を促すため，忘れ去られた自国の歴史の編纂を志し，古い史料の収集と著述に専念した。その手稿本《スラブ･ブルガリア史》(1762執筆)は広く手写されて，18～19世紀のブルガリア民族復興期の思想的指針となった。【小船井文司】
