JAMES RUSSELL OF HARVARD DISCUSSES ARMENIAN EPICS IN LECTURE AT NAASR The role and importance of Armenian epics was the subject of a well-attended and enthusiastically received talk Prof. James R. Russell, Mesrob Mashtots Professor of Armenian Studies at Harvard University, on Thursday evening, April 19, at the Center and Headquarters of the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) in Belmont, Mass. The lecture, entitled "The Role of the Epic in Armenian Literature," covered a multiplicity of topics in Armenian history, literature, folklore, religion, and art. Prof. Russell has written and lectured widely on the Armenian epic Sasuntsi Davit (David of Sasun) and other works of epic literature, both Armenian and non-Armenian, in addition to teaching courses on the Armenian epic, Armenian history, and Classical and Modern Armenian at Harvard. He is the author of Zoroastrianism in Armenia (co-published by NAASR and the Harvard Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations) and Hovhannes Tlkurantsi and the Medieval Armenian Lyric Tradition . His most recent work is An Armenian Epic: The Heroes of Kasht , a translation and commentary on a largely unknown but important work.

South Asia East Asia Chinese Japanese ... Related Websites and Links Find: In: Web Oxford Oriental Institute Information about Armenian Introduction Undergraduate Studies Armenian may be studied at the undergraduate level in conjunction with Arabic, Classics, Persian or Turkish. At the graduate level two taught degree courses are offered: a one year Master of Studies in Classical Armenian alone; and a two year Master of Philosophy, in which Armenian is a component part of the Eastern Christian Studies MPhil or the Byzantine Studies MPhil. Advanced research may lead to a DPhil in Armenian. Master of Studies in Classical Armenian This is an intensive one-year course designed to give basic instruction in the language to beginners and near- beginners. After an initial introduction to the grammar and syntax of classical Armenian, the student reads a variety of texts. An understanding of the literary culture of the period is thus obtained directly from the original sources. There are several options regarding texts to be studied: Biblical texts Homiletic and polemical literature Hagiographic texts Historical literature of the 5th-9th centuries Historical literature of the 10th-14th centuries Religious and secular verse Any other subject approved by the Faculty Board Candidates have to choose three of these options, and also take a paper on the general language, literature, history and culture of Ancient and Medieval Armenia.

63. Fac5 Students are trained in Armenian language, armenian literature, The departments of armenian literature and Armenian language have been and are important http://www.itgateway.com/Ysu/fac5.htm

Faculties (5) Faculty of Armenian Philology This was one of the first faculties at the University. It has two divisions: Armenian language and literature and journalism. Students are trained in Armenian language, Armenian literature, literary criticism, translation, print journalism, and radio and television journalism. The departments of Armenian literature and Armenian language have been and are important centers for Armenology. They have continued to play that role even after the creation of the National Academy's Institute of Literature and Language. The generation of Manuk Abeghian, Hrachya Acharian, Grigor Ghaptsian, and Arsen Terterian, who in the Twenties assumed the difficult task of teaching Armenian literature and language and creating instruction materials, has its worthy successors today. Academicians, well-known professors, and a large group of associate lecturers, all graduates of the University, successfully couple pedagogical and scholarly work at the Faculty. The Departments of Literary Theory and Foreign Literature, General Linguistics, Pedagogy and Journalism have all enjoyed notable academic success. The Armenian school of general linguistics has contributed to world linguistic thought. One area of study developed at the Faculty is the history of Armenian critical thought. Other important areas are lexicography, which has given rise to a distinguished library. Within the Journalism Department there is a course on the history of ancient and medieval Armenian journalism.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... A > Armenia A B C D ... Z Armenia par excellence I. ANCIENT POLITICAL CONSTITUTION The name Armenia appears for the first time in the cuneiform inscriptions of Darius Hystaspis. Much obscurity obtains as to the derivation of the word. Some would refer it back to the Vannic word Armani-lis , a stela, while others would connect it with Arman, a district lying to the south of Lake Van. Armenia is the name given to a mountainous strip of land situated in the southwestern portion of Asia. One one side it touches the Black Sea, on the other the Caspian, while on the north and on the south it is enclosed respectively by the Caucasus and the Taurus Mountains. Within its confines is the celebrated Lake Van. In shape it much resembles a quadrangle. As far as is known, the earliest inhabitants of Armenia were a white race, whose capital, Dhuspa, stood on the site of the present city of Van. An Aryan race replaced it and it is from this latter stock that the modern Armenians have sprung. They style their ancestors the and make allusion to their country as II. CONVERSION TO CHRISTIANITY

74. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mesrob The first monument of this armenian literature is the version of the Holy Scriptures. Isaac, says Moses of Chorene, made a translation of the Bible from the http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10211a.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... M > Mesrob A B C D ... Z Mesrob (Also called MASHTOTS) One of the greatest figures in Armenian history, he was born about 361 at Hassik in the Province of Taron; died at Valarsabad, 441. He was the son of Vartan of the family of the Mamikonians. Goriun, his pupil and biographer, tells us that Mesrob received a liberal education, and was versed in the Greek, Syriac, and Persian languages. On account of his piety and learning Mesrob was appointed secretary to King Chosroes III. His duty was to write in Greek, Persian, and Syriac characters the decrees and edicts of the sovereign, for, at this time, there was no national alphabet. But Mesrob felt called to a more perfect life. Leaving the court for the service of God Mesrob, as we have noted, had spent some time in a monastery preparing for a missionary life. With the support of Prince Shampith, he preached the Gospel in the district of Golthn near the Araxes, converting many heretics and pagans. However, he experienced great difficulty in instructing the people, for the Armenians had no alphabet of their own, but used the Greek, Persian, and Syriac scripts, none of which was well suited for representing the many complex sounds of their native tongue. Again, the Holy Scriptures and the liturgy, being written in Syriac, were, to a large extent, unintelligible to the faithful. Hence the constant need of translators and interpreters to explain the Word of God to the people. Mesrob, desirous to remedy this state of things, resolved to invent a national alphabet, in which undertaking Isaac and King Vramshapuh promised to assist him. It is hard to determine exactly what part Mesrob had in the fixing of the new alphabet. According to his Armenian biographers, he consulted Daniel, a bishop of Mesopotamia, and Rufinus, a monk of Samosata, on the matter. With their help and that of Isaac and the king, he was able to give a definite form to the alphabet, which he probably adapted from the Greek. Others, like Lenormant, think it derived from the Zend. Mesrob's alphabet consisted of thirty-six letters; two more (long O and F) were added in the twelfth century.

Scopus, Jerusalem 91905, Israel Fax: (972) 2 5883658 Introduction Background and History of the Program An active program in Armenian Studies has existed at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem for thirty years. By this means the University granted recognition to the significant role of the Armenians in Israel's complex society and in the Holy Land. In recent years the department of Armenian Studies entered a period of unprecedented and dynamic growth. Ever closer relationships with the Republic of Armenia and its academic institutions have been one factor. A recent agreement between the Armenian Patriarchate and the University encourages newly ordained clergy to continue their education at the Hebrew University. A new interest in Armenian Studies is exhibited by Israeli students. The number of students increases each year. The Hebrew University has striven to respond to this growing demand. The program has been enriched and now a broad range of courses is offered, reflecting the wealth and variety of Armenian history, language and culture. Armenian Studies forms part of the Department of Indian, Iranian and Armenian Studies in the University's Institute of Asian and African Studies. Georgian Studies are also taught in conjunction with the Armenian program. The programs of the Hebrew University and its Rothberg School for overseas students are fully accredited.

(Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, Photo: D.Harris) The Function of the Adam and Eve Traditions in Armenian Culture Under a grant for the Israel Science Foundation, Professor Michael E. Stone is conducting a major, multi-year research project, quite unique in Armenian Studies. Taking the stories of Adam and Eve in Genesis 1-3 as a basis, he is collecting and analyzing all their occurrences in Armenian literature and art. These stories, and the way they are told, reveal attitudes to human beings, sin, life in this world, and other profound dimensions of human existence. By analyzing the way these stories change as they are retold by the Armenians over the centuries, Prof. Stone hopes to gain new insights into the religious and cultural aspects of Armenian history. New Armenian Incriptions from Nazareth In the Seminar on Armenian Inscriptions held in the Armenian Studies Program of the Hebrew University two years, Professor Stone, together with visiting scholar Dr. Th. M. van Lint of Leiden University and Armenian Studies Master's student Julia Nazarjian edited and published a new collection of photographs of old inscriptions which add a few precious letters to the previously known ones.

Yet, a thorough and comparative survey of testimonial narratives and experiences still remains lacking, partly from the sheer novelty of the concept. Testimony is a purpose or production distinct from chronicles, memoirs, protests, or depictions of terror. Recent works have attempted to identify just what differentiates and identifies testimony by tackling questions such as what does testimony testify for, an event or something else?

80. Matenadaran - The Heritage In the 10th century a great break took place in the armenian literature. Read more on OLD armenian literature Article by Poghos Khachatryan http://www.matenadaran.am/en/heritage/literature.html

The Heritage Literature The first Armenian historical works are at the same time monuments of literature. They have preserved specimens of the pagan Armenian poetry and legends (Haik, Aram, Tork Angegh, Ara Geghetsik and Shamiram, Vahagn Vishapakagh, etc.). Later, parallel with the consolidation of the Christian ideology they gave way to the ecclesiastical literature. The foundation of the Armenian religious poetry is connected with the name of Mesrop Mashtots. A number of his hymns (sharakans) have survived. They include poems, devoted to the church holidays, saints, historical events, etc. In the 10th century a great break took place in the Armenian literature. A new type of poetry was formed. The first representative of this trend was Grigor Narekatsi (951 - 1003). His delightful hymns and the poem 'Book of Lamentation', by their supreme mastery of language and expression of the most sensitive human emotions are one of the masterpieces of world literature. For the first time, Narekatsi brings love, female beauty, nature and work to the Armenian poetry. Narekatsi is also a great language - builder. Together with grabar (the ancient Armenian language), he uses spoken words, creates new words with the help of word combinations. After Narekatsi the medieval armenian poetry became more mundane in the poetry of Hovhannes Sarkavag. The poem 'A word of wisdom' (in 118 lines), devoted to a starling is a novelty with its form and content in the medieval art of poetry and its theory. Sarkavag considers poetry to be the imitation of the nature and not a divine gift.
