Резюме:
The inscription carved in the rocks next to the ruins of the “old’ bridge
over Veselinariver and the road along its right bank (ca. 2 km away from Kapinovski
monastery) dates to 1780 AD and attracts attention with its content. This is a traditional
type of a text which relates to a particular activity of a particular person. In our case, the
inscription informs about the restoration of the road and bridge which once connected the
town of Elena with Tarnovo, attempted by a certain representative of the elite group of
wealthy men (so-called “chorbadzii”) in Elena. In fact, this is rather important information,
since documental evidence for patronage in this period is not very frequent. From this
point of view, the builder’s inscription made on the order of Stoyan from Gabrovo in a rock
in the so-called Elenski pass, a busy communication in the 18th – 19th c. in the hinterland of
Tarnovo, is important as a historical source not only for the region, but also for everyday
life in the Bulgarian lands in the last centuries of the Ottoman domination.
