The donation of the collection Nestinariana was presented officially on 17 May 2013 in the framework of the IX Student scientific conference and exhibition at University of Library Science and Information Technology Information culture: science – arts – religion (motto: – ？Scientia est potentia”) in the presence of academic community of ULSIT and representatives of library, cultural and scientific society – form Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, National Library Sts. Cyril and Methodius, etc. The bibliographic index, electronic and traditional library Nestinariana (below: collection Nestinariana) are collected, processed and recorded at the personal expense of Prof. Dr. Alexandra Kumanova during seven years 2007-2013. The collection Nestinariana presents in three isomorphic products (1. bibliographic index; 2. electronic library; 3. traditional library) the secondary documentary basis of the research of the information map of Nestinarstvo, carried out at ULSIT during 2007-2012 and containing 1549 documental items. The Nestinar phenomenon – as tacit (implicit) knowledge – is an Aryan solar religious cult which has been repeatedly presemanticized during the centuries and has penetrated into Strandzha Mountain from the ancient unwritten culture of the Humanity. It is important to emphasize that St. Ft. Paisiy Hilendarski assigned the prehistory of the mankind far back in the millenaries (closed to the period known as geocosmical cataclysm or the biblical flood) and could be interpreted in the modern course of Bulgarian historical science searching the ancestral homeland of Bulgarians to the Nord from where they moved to South-East – in Norhern Asia and later in Central Asia: Ocean-sea which is called Baltic sea at Brandibur. From there first the Bulgarians have come out. The markers for perceiving the Nestinarstvo are the traces of influence from Sassanid Iran on the culture of Proto- Bulgarians as the images of the Sun, Fire, Smith, Wolf and Dragon (Serpent) in Bulgarian folk tales, the idylls of Petko Yu. Todorov and the fairy tales of Nikolay Raynov and the symbolic of Madara horseman. The research has been made on the national costumes along the cultural passage Asia Minor – Balkan Peninsula – under the bird airway Via Pontica which indicates a diffusion solar transmission of cultures and folk beliefs. It is quite possible to etymologize Nestinarstvo out from Bulgarian language (N. Vasilev): nestinar is a verbal noun formed by the negative particle “ne” (no) + root morpheme of the form of past perfect tense of the verb “izstivam” (chill) + postfix “ar”
