| Sumario: | The article "Der heilige Methodius, Bulgarien und Europa" in the Catholic Historical Review explores the missionary work of brothers Constantine/Cyril and Methodius in the 9th century, focusing on their development of an alphabet precursor to Cyrillic and their translation efforts. The volume celebrates their legacy through detailed investigations of their vitae, linguistic contributions, and interactions with ecclesiastical and artistic aspects of Christianity in southeastern Europe. The essays highlight the complex cultural and ecclesiastical politics of the time, shedding light on the missionaries' confrontations with Carolingian expansionist agendas and prejudices regarding the legitimacy of Slavonic as a language of Christianity.
