COLOPHONS OF MEDIEVAL ARMENIAN MANUSCRIPTS AS SOURCES FOR WOMEN’S HISTORY

David Zakarian · 2023

Catalogue summary

Medieval Armenian manuscript colophons are examined as primary evidence for women's lives, including relatives of scribes, female sponsors, and women commemorated for notable deeds across dispersed communities.

Why this matters

The chapter recovers women who are otherwise difficult to see in medieval Armenian records and explains why colophons matter for gender history.
