Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans

The name of the Bulgarian khans book, also listing the Bulgarian khans called ( Bulgarian Именник на българските ханове ) is a short manuscript, lists the names of some early Bulgarian ruler the time of her reign and her clan membership. The collection was discovered by the Russian historian Alexander Popov during his investigation to Russian chronically. So far, three Russian copies of the document were discovered. The earliest transcription of Sergei Semenovich Uvarov is dated to the 15th century and the other two by Mikhail Pogodin to the 16th century.

While there are some differences in the spelling of the name in the individual manuscripts, but they have one thing in common: In none of the manuscripts of the Central Asian title Khan is mentioned. Only Asparuch ( the founder of Danube Bulgaria ) and his five successors carry a title, namely the Slavic title Knjaz.
