Agathangelos' History of the Armenians

The Armenian Antilibrary eBook of Agathangelos' History

When the naxarars of the Armenian troops learned about this, they split into brigades and went in pursuit. Some hurried by land and reached the head of the bridge near the gates of the city of Artashat. The Arax River, which had risen up, coursed along swollen with blocks of ice and mounds of melting snow in these days of its flooding. Half [of the pursuers] crossed the bridge of the city of Vagharshapat, which is called Metsamo'r bridge, hurrying to get in advance of [the fugitives] at the head of the Artashat bridge. In a narrow part of the road, [the naxarars] stopped them, and surrounded them. They hurled [the fugitives] into the river from the Tap'erakan bridge. And then they turned back sighing, crying out, and lamenting, and the entire country gathered and mourned the king.

In Defense of Civilization

In Defense of Civilization This is an interview with Michael Bonner about his book, In Defense of Civilization ,  just published yesterday by Sutherland House . — BM: Your book, In Defense of Civilization , comes out on April 4th. What prompted you to write this book? What was the impetus?  MB: Right at the outbreak of the pandemic in early 2020, a friend of mine and I were lifting weights at the gym. We were already very upset with the state of the world, and the news out of Wuhan was making us even more concerned. After some reflection, we realised that there was nothing we could do about anything but continue ‘getting huge’ at the gym. Kidding aside, he then suggested that I write a short book that would explain, broadly speaking, what had gone wrong in the world.  Apart from that there were two main impetuses.  The first was our collective experience of pandemic, quarantines, lockdowns, extreme political tension, rioting, forebodings of doom, quasi-apocalyptic expectations, and l

Learn Classical Armenian!

Learn Classical Armenian! started in June, 2021 with daily Grabar (Classical Armenian) exercises. Each exercise is designed to take about 15-30 minutes to work through, with most of the material sourced or modified from the 5th century Classical Armenian translation of the Bible. With the encouragement of Robert Bedrosian , the exercises have increasingly come to focus on "spoken" Grabar by emphasizing short, natural phrases that help the reader think in Grabar and, hopefully, come to parse longer sentences later on. Thanks to Taveen Miloyan for his help with developing the program for the exercises.   To whet the appetite, here are some famous literary lines that I recently translated into 5th century style Classical Armenian. Enjoy!   Additional resources: Arak29 Classical Armenian-English Bible Concordance Arak29 English-Classical Armenian Bible Concordance Krapar & Kini — Alphabet:   The Classical Armenian Alphabet Verbs: 1.
