11) "Narodne pesme Makedonski Bugara" by Stephan Verkovich,1860
The Serb Stephan Verkovich published in 1860 a collection of Bulgarian folksongs from Macedonia,under the title "Narodne pesme Makedonski Bugara"=Folksongs of the Macedonian Bulgarians.In the preface of the book he wrote:I chose that title because if someone today ask a Macedonian Slav "What are you?" he would immediately get the answer "I am a Bulgarian and my language is Bulgarian":
