The Architect Trdat: Building Practices and Cross-Cultural Exchange in Byzantium and Armenia

Christina Maranci · 2003

Catalogue summary

A comparative study of tenth-century architect Trdat connects his Hagia Sophia dome repair and Ani Cathedral construction with a little-known Armenian text, revealing building practices and exchange across the Christian East.

Why this matters

The paired monuments place Armenian architectural expertise within Byzantine networks while adding textual evidence about medieval construction methods.
