Review:
"...Der Verfasser betont mit Recht, dass man ein kulturelles Phänomen nicht hinreichend verstehen kann, wenn man nicht auch seine Sprache gründlich zur Kenntnis nimmt. Er hatte zudem guten Grund, sich der bulgarischen Verfassung dank der Vielfalt seiner Quellen sich der bulgarischen Rechtskultur auf diese Weise die zu nähern. ... Angesichts des Reichtums des hier vorgelegten Wortmaterials muss man es bedauern, dass sich der Verfasser nur mit der Rechtssprache der Verfassung beschäftigt und die praktische Rechtspflege unerörtert lässt, doch hatte er mit der Erforschung dieses Teils der bulgarischen Rechtssprache bereits genug zu tun. Ein lehrreiches Buch über das Recht einer uns noch immer fremden Welt."
Hans Hattenauer, Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichte, 129. Band, 2012
"...One can only admire Ivan Biliarsky's determination to complete a research project that would have been diffiult to fulfil by an entire team of researchers. The result of his effort is the impressive volume, almost 600-pages long...The enumeration is impressive enough, but one should add a thorough scrutiny of each of these terms to gain an image of Biliarsky's painstaking study...As a result, Word and Power in Medieval Bulgaria is an appealing and thought-provoking book. Through a meticulous and intense analysis, in an overwhelming display of scholarship, Biliarsky contributes to a better understanding of the Byzantine Commonwealth."
