The Bitola inscription is a medieval stone inscription written in Old Church Slavonic. It was found in 1956 during the demolition of an old Ottoman mosque in the town of Bitola, Republic of Macedonia and it is now kept at the Institute and Museum of Bitola.¹ The text commemorates the fortification works on the fortress of Bitola under one Tsar Ivan. It is believed to date either from c.1015, in which case the monarch in question would be Tsar Ivan Vladislav of Bulgaria, or, according to some scholars, from the 13th century, in which case it would be Tsar Ivan Asen of Bulgaria.²³
