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.
