The author discusses the latest book by Magdalena Abadżiewa, published in 2024, Книжнината на българите католици от XIX век и банатската книжнина, referring to some threads from the history of Bulgarian Catholics and their writings. She devotes particular attention to emigration themes – the works of Banat Bulgarians and the connections between their writing and the literature created in the country. Following Abadżiewa’s research, she writes about lexical parallels and similarities in terms of graphics and spelling, i.e. the assumptions of the linguistic norm developed at the end of the 18th century, common to the country and emigration.
