Abstract
In this paper, I examine Alexios’s farewell letter to his parents and his
bride, as displayed in the poem The Life of Saint Alexios the Man of God
(1833) written by Konstantin Ognjanović. The specificities of the SlavoBulgarian type of Bulgarian literary language in the first half of the 19th
century as represented in the letter in question are analyzed as well. In
addition, I also aim to reveal the genre characteristics of Alexios’s letter

Key words: Konstantin Ognjanović, The Life of Saint Alexios the Man
of God, Slavo-Bulgarian type of Bulgarian literary language, epistolary
