Abstract

The report presents the priesthood in two selected urban centers from Northeastern Bulgaria (Hezargrad and Eski Dzhuma) and their place in the urban economy in the middle of the 19th century. The study aims to present the priests in a little known plan through their financial status, tax liability and property status. At the same time, issues related to the interaction of priests with the Orthodox community and their leadership role in it, acting as mediators with authority are analyzed. Thus, the study contributes to a fuller examination of the clergy of these two cities. In addition, it clarifies their position in the local economy and fills many gaps in the portrait of Orthodox clergy from the 19th century.
