Parrot’s Journey to Mount Ararat: Some Observations

Klaus Geus · 2021

Catalogue summary

Friedrich Parrot's 1829 ascent of Mount Ararat with Khachatur Abovian, two Russian soldiers, and two Armenian peasants is read against travel-literary conventions and ancient sources, especially Strabo's Geography.

Why this matters

The chapter connects a landmark expedition with Abovian's role and the textual traditions shaping its later account.
