The Preslav Literary School (Pliska Literary School) was the first literary school in the medieval Bulgarian Empire . It was established by Boris I in 885 or 886 in Bulgaria 's capital, Pliska. In 893 , Simeon I moved the seat of the school from Pliska to Bulgaria ’s new capital, Preslav . The Preslav Literary School was the most important literary and cultural centre of Bulgaria and all Slavs until the capture and burning of Preslav by the Byzantine Emperor John I Tzimisces in 972 . A number of prominent Bulgarian writers and scholars worked at the school, including Naum Of Preslav (until 893 ), Constantine Of Preslav , John Exarch , Chernorizets Hrabar , etc. The school was also a centre of translation, mostly of Byzantine authors, as well as of poetry, painting and painted ceramics. The school is likely to have had a key role for the development of the Cyrillic Alphabet , as the earliest Cyrillic inscriptions have been found in the area of Preslav (see also Cyrillic Alphabet ).
