Gancho Tsenov

“The sources used by Tsenov are scarcely accessible to the average European because one wuld use their lifetime to search for them and to use them. Dr. Tsenov deserves approval, if only for the merit and the temperament with which he treats his work." “Europaische Revue”, Heft 4, 1936”

“"Dr. Tsenov, who has been a lecturer at Berlin University for years, has a double merit. He again gives us a new composition on the oldest story of the Bulgarians, which, almost 50 years after the old history of Konstantin Irechek, occupies a prominent place. It brings the Bulgarians to the many difficult-to&reach Latin, Byzantine and Old Slavic sources. The origins of the Southeastern countries and church history are, in any case, set by Tsenov for us in Central Europe in a new light.“Zeitschrift für Geopolitik”, Februar 1936”

“"In his present volume, Tsenov gives a careful and interesting account of the complex historical events in the second half of the first century, which preserves its value even if one disagrees with some of his claims." Dr. Victor Lebezelter, „Mitteilungen der Anthropologischen Gesellschaft”, Wien, 1936”

“"If historians who are able to check the facts admit their allegiance, we will have to change some of our beliefs about the origins of Germanism. We have to add that this book is abundant with documents and that some explanations, to say the Christianization of the Goths and the Huns, are very well documented and deserve serious attention."François Pique, Revue Germanique, Paris, 1936”

“It is important that Tsenov's facts show that the Bulgarians have been in the Balkans since the 4th century, with which the author has even shaken the general opinion about the founding of the Bulgarian state in 679 by a handful of Mongol Bulgarians."Prof. Mayer, “Indogermanische Forschungen”, Heft 2, 1933”

“"In the time of his reign (Anastasius), the Thracian Vitalian kept under some pretense by using of the exiled bishops, and he took Thrace, Scythia and Moesia, to Varna and Anhialo and led a large number of Huns and Bulgars." http://www.imadrugpat.org/krovatova.pdf”
