Absract. Bulgarian historiography did not find to date a documentary sourcebased evidence that firmly establishes 6 July 1837 as the birth date of Vasil Levski. Therefore, other hypotheses placing the birth of Levski in 1846 or 1843 have lately been put forward. The present article examines data from the population registers of Karlovo, kept in the Ottoman archives in Istanbul, and argues that 1840 is Vasil Levski’s most probable birth date.
Keywords: Vassil Levski; Karlovo; population (nüfus) registers; year of birth
