Spiridon Gabrovski (; 1740; Gabrovo – 1824; Rila monastery) named after his hometown or after the name of the Rila Monastery and as Spiridon Rilski [1] is a Bulgarian clergyman and activist of the Bulgarian National Awakening.
He lives on Mount Athos where he is a monk, spending many years in the Zograf monastery and the Hilandar monastery. Between 1747 and 1763, due to disagreement between the Bulgarian and Serbian monks, he settled in the Ilin skete of the Pantokrator monastery, with the founder of this hermit Paisius Velichkovsky.
In 1763, together with Paisius Velichkovsky, he left Mount Athos and went to Moldova with 64 other monks. In 1779 he settled in the Neamt monastery near Iasi. He remained there until the death of his teacher and mentor, who became abbot of the monastery shortly after their arrival there. Spiridon Gabrovski used the library of the monastery to supplement his knowledge and in 1792 he managed to complete a short history of the Bulgarians. [2]
In 1794, after the death of Paisius Velichkovsky, he left the Neamt monastery and settled in the Rila monastery, where he died in 1824.[3]
