1840 CE to 1851 CE
Bulgarian book printing, parallel with educational advancement, had advanced substantially after 1830.
Before that date only seventeen original Bulgarian titles had been printed; but by mid-century, printing has replaced manuscript copying as the predominant means of distributing the written word.
The first periodical is printed in Bulgarian in 1844, beginning an outpouring of mostly ephemeral journals through the nineteenth century.
Most Bulgarian-language periodicals printed within the empire come from Constantinople, showing the cultural importance of that city to the Bulgarian National Revival.
After 1850 Bulgarian emigre periodicals, supporting a wide variety of political views toward the national independence movement, will play a vital role in stimulating Bulgarian political consciousness.
