Ultimately, this book is a summary of the trends in contemporary scholarship on the emergence of a standardized Church Slavonic language as embodied in early printed Cyrillic books, and on the books themselves, particularly those produced in Southern Europe. It is preceded by an account of Glagolitic incunabula and the Cyrillic incunabula published in Cracow, "even though they are not directly related" to the subject of the book, and followed by a somewhat perfunctory description of East Slavonic printing in the 16th century (though it could a priori be hypothesized that the books produced in this area were more influential to the development of Bulgarian than those from the Balkans). It is essentially a bibliography of the Cyrillic Slavonic books published in Southern Europe (i.e. Venice, Serbia, Montenegro, Transylvania, and Wallachia) up to the end of the 16th century, arranged by place and printer.
