Paisius was born in the Samokov eparchy of the time, probably in the town of Bansko . He established himself in the Hilandar monastery on Mount Athos in 1745, where he was later a Hieromonk and Deputy-abbot . Collecting materials for two years through hard work and even visiting the lands of the Germans , he finished his ''Istoriya Slavyanobolgarskaya'' in 1762 in the Zograf Monastery . As he toured Bulgaria as a Mendicant Friar , he brought his work, which was copied and spread among the Bulgarians . He is thought to have died on the way to Mount Athos near Ampelino (modern-day Loznitsa ). |
