Translating Rousseau Between Venice and Istanbul: Enlightenment and Connected History in an Armenian Music Treatise (1812)
JACOB OLLEY · 2024
Catalogue summary
Minas Bzhshkean's 1812 treatise combines Rousseau and other traditions to frame musical notation reform across Mekhitarist Venice, Ottoman Istanbul, and Armenian Enlightenment networks.
Why this matters
The connected-history approach places an Armenian music-theory text inside global exchanges of translation, print, and intellectual reform.
