Georgi Mishev
Georgi Mishev is a Bachelor in German and Russian language and has a master's degree in "Preservation of the cultural-historical heritage in the Republic of Bulgaria" (master's thesis on the subject "Thracian material and immaterial cultural-historical heritage in the region of Thracian cult centre Starosel"). He is also a researcher in ancient history and religion of the Mediterranean world and especially in magic practices, rituals and ancient relics in the modern folklore. Because of his education - Russian and German philology, he is familiar with the written magical rituals of a number of Slavic and Germanic peoples. A tremendous contribution to his understanding of the ancient Greek Magical Papyri was the seminar 'Ancient magical formulae' of Prof. Johann Tischler at the Dresden University of Technology, Germany in 2003/2004 and during the same period emerged his interest about Hittite ritual practices used later for comparative research of the Thracian culture. Now he is a Doctoral candidate at the University of Library Studies and Information Technologies, Sofia under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Sc. Valeria Fol.
