Simeon's own contribution to this literary blossoming was praised by his contemporaries, for example in the Praise to Tsar Simeon preserved in the Zlatostruj collection and Simeon's Collection, to which the tsar personally wrote an addendum.
Simeons egna bidrag till denna litterära blomstring prisades av hans samtida, till exempel i Lovord till tsar Simeon som bevarats i Zlatostruj-samlingen och Simeons samling, som tsaren personligen skrev ett tillägg till.
