PUBLICATIONS 1993-2005 the Original Bibliography O SUPPLEMENT TO A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CLASSICAL ARMENIAN LITERATURE 163 SUPPLEMENT TO A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CLASSICAL ARMENIAN LITERATURE TO 1500 AD: PUBLICATIONS 1993-2005 The original Bibliography of Classical Armenian Literature was pub- lished by Brepols in Turnhout in 19951. It was an attempt to provide in- formation about published Armenian texts [both original works and translations into Armenian of works in other languages made before 1500 AD], translations into modern languages, and secondary studies. The period covered ended in 1993. What follows is an attempt to bring such information down to the year 2005. Some items from earlier years, omitted from the original Bibliography are also included. The format of the Supplement follows the same quadripart pattern: general studies, for- eign authors translated into Armenian, original Armenian works, studies of specific aspects of literary and scholarly activity. It has been impossible to ensure complete coverage of all items pub- lished in Armenia and the larger world. Within Armenia many texts are now being published under private auspices, and often elude detection by western librarians. In the west in recent decades Armenian studies have attracted much more attention than in the past, but financial con- straints in many libraries have made it difficult to keep up with the in- creasing rate of publication in this field. I must acknowledge the help and cooperation of the staff in the Orien- tal Section of the Bodleian Library. I am also grateful to numerous col- leagues over the years for information about works not available in Ox- ford. In particular I must thank Karen Holm for typing into the computer all the handwritten cards which I had collected over many years, and the Trustees of the Nubar Pasha Fund.

  • Social Change in Eleventh-Century Armenia: the Evidence from Tarōn Tim Greenwood (University of St Andrews)
    Social Change in Eleventh-Century Armenia: the evidence from Tarōn Tim Greenwood (University of St Andrews) The social history of tenth and eleventh-century Armenia has attracted little in the way of sustained research or scholarly analysis. Quite why this should be so is impossible to answer with any degree of confidence, for as shall be demonstrated below, it is not for want of contemporary sources. It may perhaps be linked to the formative phase of modern Armenian historical scholarship, in the second half of the nineteenth century, and its dominant mode of romantic nationalism. The accounts of political capitulation by Armenian kings and princes and consequent annexation of their territories by a resurgent Byzantium sat very uncomfortably with the prevailing political aspirations of the time which were validated through an imagined Armenian past centred on an independent Armenian polity and a united Armenian Church under the leadership of the Catholicos. Finding members of the Armenian elite voluntarily giving up their ancestral domains in exchange for status and territories in Byzantium did not advance the campaign for Armenian self-determination. It is also possible that the descriptions of widespread devastation suffered across many districts and regions of central and western Armenia at the hands of Seljuk forces in the eleventh century became simply too raw, too close to the lived experience and collective trauma of Armenians in these same districts at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, to warrant

  • Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery KAMRAN IMANOV * Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery
    KAMRAN IMANOV Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery KAMRAN IMANOV * Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery The book - “Tall Armenian Tales”, presented to the reader’s attention, consists of two thematic sections. Chapter I, entitled “I came, I saw, I... stole”, is about the misappropriation and armenization of intellectual property of the Azerbaijani people, intellectual plagiarism of the Azerbaijani folklore, dastans (epics) and other epic works, the desire to seize the Azerbaijani bayati (Azerbaijani folk poems), proverbs and sayings. The book also narrates about the “armenization” of tales, anecdotes, music and other samples of folk genre. What is the common of these various manifestations of Armenian plagiary shown in the chapter “I came, I saw, ..., I stole”? The fact is that, firstly, these “tales” do not have an Armenian origin, but only an Armenian presentation. These tales are alien to the Armenian people; in addition, these are the same “anecdotes” in allegorical meaning of this term in the form of absurdities - false statements shown in Chapter II - “The Theatre of Absurd.” PREFACE .............................................................................................. 6 CHAPTER I. “I came, I saw,.. .1 stole”: about the Armenian tradition of misappropriation of the Azerbaijani cultural heritage ............................................................... 8 §1. “I c a m e , w h i c h briefly tells about the mass settlement of the Armenians in the South Caucasus .............................. 9 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS §2.

Armenia's capital Yerevan was proclaimed the 12th International Book 2012 Capital, and in the timespan from April 22, 2012 to April 22, 2013 large-scale measures and festivities were held not only in Armenia but also abroad. The book festival got together the world's writers, publishers, librarians, book traders and, in general, booklovers everywhere.

Those events included book exhibitions, international fairs, contests ("Best Collector Coins CENTRAL BANK OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA Literary Work", "Best Thematic Posters"), a variety of projects ("Give-A-Book Day"), workshops, and film premieres. The Central Bank of Armenia celebrated the book festival by issuing the collector coin "500th Anniversary of Armenian Book Printing".

  • John Mamikonean's History of Taron
    John Mamikonean's History of Taron Translator's Preface Among classical Armenian sources, the History of Taron attributed to the otherwise unknown Yovhannes (John) Mamikonean, is a peculiar work. The author of this medieval romance claims to have compiled it in 680-81 from shorter, earlier accounts written by the abbots of the monastery of Glak in the district of Taron (in southwestern historical Armenia, to the west of Lake Van). Actually, scholars are convinced that the work is an original composition of a later period (post-eighth century), written as a deliberate forgery. The History of Taron, despite its name, is not a history. Rather, it is a relatively short "historical" romance in five parts, purporting to describe significant events occurring in the district of Taron during the Byzantine-Iranian wars when the shah of Iran was Xosrov II (590-628). During Xosrov's reign Taron was frequently invaded by the Iranians. The History describes the actions of five generations of Mamikoneans (Taron's princely house), in defending and avenging the district. Each section or cycle of the story is devoted to the exploits of one of the defenders: Mushegh, Vahan, Smbat, his son Vahan Kamsarakan, and the latter's son Tiran. The heroes are at times superhumanly brave or duplicitous, wise or cunning, humble or bombastic, humane or brutally merciless as the situation requires. Above all, they are the holy warriors of St. Karapet (their patron saint), and they zealously defend the monastery of Glak as well as all the churches and Christians in the district. Much of the narration describes battles fought and the cunning tactics used by the Taronites to defeat the invading Iranians.

  • NEW RESEARCH on ANCIENT ARMENIA University of Geneva, 8-9 June 2018 the CONCEPT of CHURCH UNITY in “ATENABANUTYUN,” by NERS
    NEW RESEARCH ON ANCIENT ARMENIA University of Geneva, 8-9 June 2018 Arpi Aleksanyan Research Master Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies KU Leuven, Belgium email: [email protected] THE CONCEPT OF CHURCH UNITY IN “ATENABANUTYUN,” BY NERSES OF LAMBRON (1153-1198) Abstract My research work is devoted to the famous Armenian medieval theologian Nerses of Lambron’s (1153-1198) “Atenabanutyun.” Though the ecclesiastical and historical sources report us opposite opinions and information about this person, Nerses of Lambron remains one of the gifted and illustrious scholars in the ecclesiology of the Armenian Church. Nerses of Lambron fulfilled his spiritual activity in Cilician Armenia in the 2nd half of the 12th century. He is considered one of the significant ecumenical thinkers in the history of the Armenian Apostolic Church. The aim of Nerses of Lambron to write “Atenabanutyun” is to establish brotherly relationship among the Christian churches. In the Armenian language the word ‘atenabanutyun’ means a speech for an audience or for a group of people. In his work Nerses of Lambron refers to some of the ecclesiastical issues which were discussed in the context of Church Unity in the 2nd half of the 12th century. My research question is according to ‘Atenabanutyun’ which questions prevent the Armenian Church to find ecumenical dialogue with other Christian churches? My research work is a historical and theological examination of “Atenabanutyun.” It is necessary to examine the work in its historical context. The historical critical method helps to illustrate the historical and political conditions which motivated Nerses of Lambron to write ‘Atenabanutyun.’ It is relevant to provide a hermeneutical critical approach to the text as well.

  • Comptes Rendus
    COMPTES RENDUS COMPTES RENDUS NERSES OF LAMBRON, Commentary on the Revelation of Saint John, Translation of the Armenian text, notes and introduction by Robert W. THOMSON (Hebrew University Armenian Studies, 9), Leuven, Peeters, 2007. XII + 225 pages, ISBN 978-90-429-1866-5. In his new book, Robert W. Thomson offers us an annotated translation of the Commentary on the Revelation of John by Nerses of Lambron (1153-1198). In the Introduction, Nerses’s activity and thought, the reception of the Apocalypse in Armenia, as well as the textual history of Nerses’s work are discussed. Nerses of Lambron was responsible for first integrating the Book of Revelation into the liturgical life of the Armenian Church: he made a new translation of this book, whilst his Commentary represents the first Armenian explanation of the Revela- tion of John. Nerses’s Commentary is an adaptation of that by Andrew of Caesarea (563-614), which had been the most widely used exegetical text on the Apocalypse in Byzantium and, as such, had also been translated into Georgian and Slavonic. Although, around 895, Aretas, the bishop of Caesarea, had edited an expanded version of Andrew’s Commentary, Nerses used for his version the original edition. Before Nerses’s time, the Book of Revelation had never been mentioned in any of the lists of canonical books found in the proceedings of church councils, either convoked in Armenia or recognised by the Armenian Church. Moreover, unlike the Dormition of John, the Apocalypse of John had not been used in the liturgical readings of the Armenian Church.

  • Saint Nerses of Lambron on Psalm 118 R.W
    Saint Nerses of Lambron on Psalm 118 R.W. Thomson My title may promise more than this presentation will deliver. The subject is indeed based on the Commentary on the Psalms by Nerses of Lambron. But this is an unpublished text, of enormous length, and my sampling of the commentary may well be untypical of the work as a whole. Psalm 118 is chosen for the simple reason that when on a visit to the Matenadaran many years ago I obtained a microfilm of this particular section. Other distractions then led me to put the microfilm aside, but recently I picked it up again, and my initial work on it is presented here. Nerses of Lambron is perhaps the best known Armenian commentator on the Bible. His Commentary on the Psalms is an early work, and it would of course be valuable to know to what extent it set the tone for his later commentaries. Armenian exegetical literature, however, is such an undeveloped area of study, that for the time being I shall have little to say about the later works of Nerses in general or the influence of this book on later Armenian commentaries on the psalms, such as that of Vardan Arewelc‘i. In my brief allotted time I shall look at some of the interpretations of certain verses offered by Nerses and compare them with the interpretations in a few earlier commentators. In view of the fact that so much remains unpublished—and for this paper I did not have recourse to works still in manuscript form—the texts to be compared with Nerses will be Greek and Syriac ones of authors known in Armenia.
