Abstract

The article presents the social and economic development of the village of Tryavna in the middle of the 19th c. and the place of Tryavna’s chorbadzhis in the local economic development. The study aims to draw attention to the profile of the chorbadzhis and their economic abilities, while simultaneously comparing them to the financial and property status of other villagers. Sources of various origins and characteristics have been used in the analysis. They were created by the Ottoman authorities or by the local Bulgarian municipality. This allows fuller and more accurate representation of the object of study.
