Collection of Bulgarian Folk Creations

Collection of Bulgarian Folk Creations (Сборник от български народни умотворения), compiled by Kuzman Shapkarev (1834–1909), is regarded in Macedonia as a significant work by a Macedonian folklorist and ethnographer.

Published in Sofia between 1891 and 1894, this multi-volume anthology collects Macedonian folklore, including folk songs, fairy tales, proverbs, riddles, legends, and customs from the Ottoman region of Macedonia. It serves as a crucial resource for preserving Macedonian oral traditions and cultural identity, reflecting Shapkarev’s efforts to document the heritage of his homeland.
