What is being done to Armenian monuments in Artsakh now is not new and it is not vandalism. Seda Parsamyan traces the demolition policy of the Hamidian massacres of the 1890s and puts the legal question directly: when a state sets out to erase a people's churches, at what point does that become cultural genocide? She works through how the concept has been defined, redefined and quietly narrowed by people who would rather it did not apply. The frame she builds is the one now being reached for over Artsakh.

A New, Critical Edition of Armenian Deuteronomy, Forty Years after its 'Diplomatic' Predecessor: Reflections and the Results of New Collations

Cox, Claude, 2024

Matenadaran: Medieval and Early Modern Armenian Studies (MEMAS), Vol. 1, No. 2, pp. 35–51 (Mesrop Mashtots Matenadaran / Brepols); ISSN 3041-5063

Reflects on producing a fully critical, eclectic edition of the classical Armenian translation of Deuteronomy, replacing an earlier diplomatic edition after forty years. Discusses the textual-criticism value of the Armenian version as a secondary witness to the Old Greek/Septuagint, the difficulty a non-Greek version poses for reconstructing its source text, and the methodology and rewards of collating manuscripts. Published by the Matenadaran, Armenia's institute of ancient manuscripts.

How this repository is built

What is in this repository?

Peer-reviewed and institutional scholarship on Armenian subjects — history, the Armenian Genocide, Artsakh, language and literature, the church, and the diaspora — in any language and from any country. Journal articles, books, book chapters, theses and institute publications are all in scope. Entries are chosen for what they contribute to an Armenian student's understanding, not for how recent or how famous they are.

What does 'verified' mean here?

It means a person opened the link and checked the record against the publisher's own page: the title, the authors, the venue, the volume and pages, and the identifier. The date of that check is shown on each entry's page. Where an entry has no date shown, no check has been logged for it yet, and the catalogue does not claim one.

What is the summary on each entry?

A short account of what the publication does, followed by notes on what it offers different readers — a student writing a term paper, an academic, someone reading for the community, someone new to the subject. They are meant to tell you what a piece is useful for, not only what it argues.

How do I suggest a publication, or report an error?

Use the 'Suggest a publication' link at the foot of the directory. The same address takes corrections — a broken link, a wrong page range, a misattributed author. Corrections are checked against the publisher's record before an entry changes.
