Armenia
At the foot of Mount Ararat on the crossroads of the eastern and western worlds, medieval Armenians dominated international trading routes that reached from Europe to China and India to Russia. As the first people to convert officially to Christianity, they commissioned and produced some of the most extraordinary religious objects of the Middle Ages. These objects—from sumptuous illuminated manuscripts to handsome carvings, liturgical furnishings, gilded reliquaries, exquisite textiles, and printed books—show the strong persistence of their own cultural identity, as well as the multicultural influences of Armenia’s interactions with Romans, Byzantines, Persians, Muslims, Mongol...
Art and Religion in Medieval Armenia
This latest volume in The Metropolitan Museum of Art symposia series reprises The Met’s blockbuster exhibition Armenia! (2018–19)—the first major exhibition on the art of this highly influential culture at the crossroads of the eastern and western worlds. Building on the pioneering work of those who first established Armenian studies in America, these essays by a new generation of scholars address Armenia’s roles in facilitating exchange with the Mongol, Ottoman, and Persian empires to the East and with Byzantium and European Crusader states to the West. Contributors explore the effects of this tension in the history of Armenian art and how those histories persist into the present, as Armenia continues to grapple with the legacy of genocide and counters new threats to its sovereignty, integrity, and culture.
The Heritage of Armenian Literature
Preserving Armenia's rich literary tradition from a multitude of viewpoints has been the aim of this three-volume work. This third volume joins the previous two in making excerpts of Armenian masterpieces accessible in beautifully rendered English translations, while enabling readers to enjoy the immediacy of these works through lively discussions of the authors and their times. Here the focus is on the eighteenth through twentieth centuries. The volume begins with a comprehensive overview of the entire historical, social, and literary panorama of the periods covered: the Armenian Renaissance, the development of modern Armenian (with its Western and Eastern versions), the emergence of a nati...

At the end of each country report, an annual overview of statistical and demographic data is presented in an appendix. By using a table format, up-to-date information is q...
Armenia sacra
Mûri entre Rome et la Perse, ressuscité entre Byzance et le Califat, l'art sacré des Arméniens s'ouvre sur l'Europe gothique à l'époque des croisades et sur l'Extrême-Orient sous le règne des Mongols au XIIIe siècle. Plus tard, il revisite à sa manière les répertoires de l'art perse, ottoman et européen. Pièces maîtresses de l'enluminure et des arts somptuaires, décors architecturaux et khatchkars (grandes dalles monolithes emblématiques de la sculpture arménienne) : l'ensemble des chefs-d'œuvre réunis dans cet ouvrage révèle la véritable identité et toute la grandeur de l'art sacré des Arméniens. Les essais d'éminents universitaires et historiens de l'art abordent différents aspects de la civilisation arménienne du IVe au XVIIIe siècle et permettent au lecteur de mieux appréhender une part originale du patrimoine universel.

The History of Armenia
There is a great deal of interest in the history of Armenia since its renewed independence in the 1990s and the ongoing debate about the genocide - an interest that informs the strong desire of a new generation of Armenian Americans to learn more about their heritage and has led to greater solidarity in the community. By integrating themes such as war, geopolitics, and great leaders, with the less familiar cultural themes and personal stories, this book will appeal to general readers and travellers interested in the region.
