The Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia and the Mamluk Sultanate: A Historiographical Analysis for the Reign of Lewon IV (1320–1341)
Nobutaka NAKAMACHI · 2025
Catalogue summary
Paired Armenian colophons and Arabic chronicles illuminate raids, reciprocal violence, and disputed place names during Lewon IV’s Cilician reign between Mamluk and Ilkhanate powers.
Why this matters
Reading both traditions together exposes agreement and divergence in reports of negotiation, invasion, and retaliation during the kingdom’s final stable phase.
