The creator of modern Bulgarian historiography, Petar Bogdan Bakshev in his first work ""Description of the Bulgarian Kingdom"" in 1640, mentioned the geographical and ethnic borders of Bulgaria and Bulgarian people including also ""the greather part of Macedonia ... as far as Ohrid, up to the boundaries of Albania and Greece ..."". Hristofor Zhefarovich, a Macedonia-born 18th-century painter, had a crucial influence on the Bulgarian National Revival and significantly affected the entire Bulgarian heraldry of the 19th century, when it became most influential among all generations of Bulgarian enlighteners and revolutionaries and shaped the idea for a modern Bulgarian national symbol. In his testament, he explicitly noted that his relatives were "of Bulgarian nationality" and from Dojran.
