Abstract: The Creation of the Slavic Alphabet, dated to 6360 = 852, is among the significant events in Bulgarian Short Chronicles. Sources of this act are texts from the Golden Age of Bulgarian Literature. In the Belopol and Sarandapor Chronicles beginning with The Creation, as in most Serbian texts, it is associated with the reign of the Byzantine emperor Michael III and his mother Irina,. In the Hilendar and Gabarevo chronicles, the beginning of the story is precisely a note about the work of St Cyril. This information does not agree with the Serbian Chronicles, but a similar text appears in several later texts. In Bulgarian Literature, the information about The Creation of the Alphabet can be found until the middle of the 18th century as an evidence of the important role that the event has in historical memory. Nowadays the scholars have more information that allows the notes to be analyzed in a broader literary and historical context.
