The Major Works of Armenian Historiography (Classical and Medieval)
This chapter briefs about the parameters of Philology and attempts a critical assessment of results achieved up to now in the field of works of historiography, both ancient and medieval. Works of history have been privileged in this regard, reflecting primarily the interest of scholars in using Armenian texts for the wider study of the Near Eastern world. A survey of Armenian texts in other areas would reveal a much larger proportion of unpublish…

The Lawcode [Datastanagirk'] of Mxit'ar Goš
This Lawcode is the first Armenian legal text to cover secular as well as ecclesiastical matters. Although the Armenians had been concerned with canon law since the fifth century, secular law was not codified until Greater Armenia was under Muslim domination. Mxit'ar Gosh began his work in 1184 in an attempt to provide Armenians with a comprehensive code based on traditional practice. He did not use the Greek and Syrian lawcodes that were being t…

Rewriting Caucasian History: The Medieval Armenian Adaptation of the Georgian Chronicles: The Original Georgian Texts And The Armenian Adaptation
After the invention of a national script, c.400 AD, Armenians rapidly developed their own literary forms, drawing on foreign texts as well as their own traditions. Historical writing is the most original genre in classical and medieval Armenian literature. Greek works (including the Chronicle of Eusebius, now lost in Greek but preserved in Armenian) constituted the major part of translated histories. But in the thirteenth century the extensice Ch…

Historical writing is the most original genre in classical and medieval Armenian literature.

The Historical Compilation of Vardan Arewelci
The Caribbean after Grenada
Caribbeana has become a growth industry in the wake of the United States invasion of Grenada. The veritable explosion of analysis, speculation, and general academic interest in the area has produced a good deal of decent material which would have been ignored or never have appeared were it not for the tragic events of October 1983. The three books reviewed here are but the tip of an iceberg; yet they provide a good basis for examining the events …
