Bøker av Nina G. Garsoian

Offers a collection of articles on early Armenian history and civilization. This title features articles that investigate Iranian and Byzantine political, doctrinal and social influences on Medieval Armenia, precariously wedged between the two super-powers of the period, Byzantium and Sasanian Persia.

The late fifth-century Epic Histories form the earliest historical work written in Armenian. Since no scholarly translation of this work into any Western language has been attempted for more than a century, the aim of this book is to fill this lacuna by complementing the translation of the original text with a Commentary and Appendices.
