The compilation of the present bibliography was prompted by the lack of a similar reference book that would facilitate readers - artists and iconographers in discovering iconographic images of the most frequently painted saints.
The main sources used are the holdings of the Art Department of the Public Library "P. R. Slaveykov" - Veliko Tarnovo albums, monographs and books published in the period 1968 - 2007. All materials have been reviewed de visu. Due to the numerous and common images of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ, their images are not included.
The description of the sources is according to BDS 17264-91. Bibliographical description. Analytical description of composite parts of publications in book material. Sofia, Committee for Standardization and Metrology, 1992. The text part of the publication is supplemented by illustrative material - reproductions of some of the icons of the saints described.
These materials can be used in the Art Department every working day from 10 am to 6 pm.
