Abstract

This book explores seven centuries of changing fortunes for Cyprus through the Famagusta region and examines the Eastern Mediterranean world through the lens of the Armenian Church as a ‘constant’. An examination of the society through art, architecture, archives, and ‘hard sciences’ escorts the reader from the era of the crusades, through the rise and fall of empires, to the political stasis of the present day. From the wealth and influence of the French Lusignans, via the artistry and military ingenuity of Venetian renaissance, followed by the silence of three centuries of Ottoman rule then incorporation into British Empire, the book examines seven centuries of change in the Eastern Mediterranean and on the island of Cyprus. Recently, as late as the 1970s, the Armenian Church even became home for displaced villagers during the inter-ethnic problems that plagued the post-independence era and led in turn to the Turkish intervention of 1974, after which it became a military storage facility and eventually fell into abandonment. Through an analysis of this society, this book represents a first history into the Armenian community from the 14th century to present and a probing analysis into the art and architecture it left behind.

Abstract

The Armenian Church Synaxarion is a collection of saints’ lives according to the day of the year on which each saint is celebrated. Part of the great and varied Armenian liturgical tradition from the turn of the first millennium, the first Armenian Church Synaxarion represented the logical culmination of a long and steady development of what is today called the cult of the saints. This volume, the first Armenian-English edition, is the eighth of a twelve-volume series—one for each month of the year—and is ideal for personal devotional use or as a valuable resource for anyone interested in saints.

Abstract

The Armenian presence in the Holy Land can be traced back to Christianity's first centuries. The first monastery there was established by an Armenian, St Euthymius. It has been prominent and sustained through all the vicissitudes of this stormy country and the Armenian Quarter is an integral and distinctive part of Jerusalem's Old City today. This long history has created an unique form of Armenian life and language. «The Armenians in Jerusalem and the Holy Land» assembles essays by the world's leading authorities on numerous aspects of this ancient, richly traditional community. The essays were prepared on occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the program in Armenian Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
