Art. XXIII.—A Dissertation on the Antiquity of the Armenian Language
Arratoon Isaac Aganoon · 1837
Catalogue summary
An 1837 antiquarian essay argues through Biblical chronology that Noah retained the pre-Babel tongue in Armenia and attempts to identify that language as Armenian.
Why this matters
As a historical artifact, the argument documents nineteenth-century efforts to ground Armenian linguistic antiquity in scriptural rather than comparative-philological authority.
