Abstract

"This is a 3,000 year history of one of Europe's most fascinating and ancient peoples. Situated south of the Caucasus mountains, historical Armenia has been a pivotal point between the forces of the east and of the west over most of its long history. That history has seen subjugation and conquest by several rival empires. Art, historical literature and textual analysis contribute to the author's consideration of the realities and ideas of power in antique and early medieval Armenian elite society, which had elements in common with early medieval Western European society. The contributions of Armenians and their culture to European history are also examined." "The book closes with a survey of Armenia under foreign rule, since the 1070s, most recently under the Ottoman Empire and as part of the Soviet Union, and with Armenians recent experience and expectation of an independent, though tiny, Armenia, the most plausible for nearly a thousand years."--Jacket.

Abstract

Though immediately recognizable in public discourse as a modern state in a political "hot zone," Armenia has a material history and visual culture that reaches back to the Paleolithic era. This book presents a timely and much-needed survey of the arts of Armenia from antiquity to the early eighteenth century C.E. Divided chronologically, it brings into discussion a wide range of media, including architecture, stone sculpture, works in metal, wood, and cloth, manuscript illumination, and ceramic arts. Critically, The Art of Armenia presents this material within historical and archaeological contexts, incorporating the results of specialist literature in various languages. It also positions Armenian art within a range of broader comparative contexts including, but not limited to, the ancient Mediterranean and Near East, Byzantium, the Islamic world, Yuan-dynasty China, and seventeenth-century Europe. The Art of Armenia offers students, scholars, and heritage readers of the Armenian community something long desired but never before available: a complete and authoritative introduction to three thousand years of Armenian art, archaeology, architecture, and design.

Abstract

This first study of its kind cuts across and brings together the political and cultural histories of the medieval Near East. The peculiar episode of the Fatimid Armenians (1074-1163) and other phenomena earlier on are given their proper background and context; the 'Armenian Period' in the last century of the Fatimid caliphate in Egypt is shown to be a major phase in the perpetual alliance between Armenian sectarians and Muslims. The reconstruction of this to date unstudied subject also reveals new relevant data. Through its methodology, this book proposes fresh criteria and perspectives for the evaluation of patterns of cultural and political interaction in Near Eastern history.
