Agathangelos' History of the Armenians

(Translated by Robert Bedrosian)

The Life and History of Saint Gregory

XXXIV.

The Armenian Antilibrary eBook of Agathangelos' History

Now [King Xosrov], before the warm spirit [of life] had quit his bosom, before he had breathed his last, issued an order that the clan [of Anak] should be exterminated. Then [the naxarars] began to kill and destroy, not sparing even the young who still did not know their right hand from their left. Similarly, the female [side of the] clan was put to their swords. Only two small children of [Anak] the Parthian were spirited away by someone and saved by means of their dayeaks, one [fleeing] to the Persian areas, and the other, to the Greek [Byzantine] areas.

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.
