Book Synopsis The Armenian Kingdom in Cilicia During the Crusades by : Jacob Ghazarian
Download or read book The Armenian Kingdom in Cilicia During the Crusades written by Jacob Ghazarian and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique study bridges the history of the Crusades with the history of Armenian nationalism and Christianity. To the Crusaders, Armenian Christians presented the only reliable allies in Anatolia and Asia Minor, and were pivotal in the founding of the Crusader principalities of Edessa, Antioch, Jerusalem and Tripoli. The Anatolian kingdom of Cilicia was founded by the Roupenian dynasty (mid 10th to late 11th century), and grew under the collective rule of the Hetumian dynasty (late 12th to mid 14th century). After confrontations with Byzantium, the Seljuks and the Mongols, the Second Crusade led to the crowning of the first Cilician king despite opposition from Byzantium. Following the Third Crusade, power shifted in Cilicia to the Lusignans of Cyprus (mid to late 14th century), culminating in the final collapse of the kingdom at the hands of the Egyptian Mamluks.

Book Synopsis Mattʿēos Uṙhayecʿi and His Chronicle by : Tara L. Andrews
Download or read book Mattʿēos Uṙhayecʿi and His Chronicle written by Tara L. Andrews and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2018 Dr Sona Aronian book prize for Excellence in Armenian Studies In Mattʿēos Uṙhayecʿi and His Chronicle Tara L. Andrews presents the first ever in-depth study of the history written by this Armenian priest, who lived in Edessa (modern-day Urfa in Turkey) around the turn of the twelfth century and was an eyewitness to the First Crusade and the establishment of the Latin East. Although the Chronicle is known as an extremely valuable source of information for the eleventh- and early twelfth-century Near East, neither its guiding structure nor Uṙhayecʿi's motivation in writing it have ever been clear to modern historians. This study elucidates the prophetic framework within which the text was written, and demonstrates how that framework has influenced Uṙhayecʿi's understanding of the time in which he lived.
Download or read book Armenia written by David Marshall Lang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-19 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1970, this book is the result of many years of study and research in the field. It begins with a geographic and ethnic survey of the land and Armenian people and traces the land’s prehistory back to the Old Stone Age. The origins of the wine-making and bronze-working industries are discussed, in which Armenia played a pioneering role. The outstanding Armenian contribution to Church art and architecture is also explored as is the contribution of Armenia to painting, philosophy, and science. The final section is devoted to an account of Soviet Armenia.
Book Synopsis The History of Armenia by : S. Payaslian
Download or read book The History of Armenia written by S. Payaslian and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-03-13 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a great deal of interest in the history of Armenia since its renewed independence in the 1990s and the ongoing debate about the genocide - an interest that informs the strong desire of a new generation of Armenian Americans to learn more about their heritage and has led to greater solidarity in the community. By integrating themes such as war, geopolitics, and great leaders, with the less familiar cultural themes and personal stories, this book will appeal to general readers and travellers interested in the region.
Book Synopsis Medieval Fortifications in Cilicia by : Dweezil Vandekerckhove
Download or read book Medieval Fortifications in Cilicia written by Dweezil Vandekerckhove and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Medieval Fortifications in Cilicia Dweezil Vandekerckhove offers an account of the origins, development and spatial distribution of fortified sites in the Armenian Kingdom (1198-1375). Despite the abundance of archaeological remains, the Armenian heritage had previously not been closely studied. However, through the examination of known and newly identified castles, this work has now increased the number of sites and features associated with the Armenian Kingdom. By the construction of numerous powerful castles, the Armenians succeeded in establishing an independent kingdom, which lasted until the Mamluk conquest in 1375. Dweezil Vandekerckhove convincingly proves that the medieval castles in Cilicia are of outstanding architectural interest, with a significant place in the history of military architecture.

Book Synopsis Armenia, Australia and the Great War by : Vicken Babkenian
Download or read book Armenia, Australia and the Great War written by Vicken Babkenian and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian civilians worked for decades supporting the survivors and orphans of the Armenian Genocide. 24 April 1915 marks the beginning of two great epics of the First World War. It was the day the allied invasion forces set out for Gallipoli; and it marked the beginning of what became the Genocide of the Ottoman Empire's Armenians. For the first time, this book tells the powerful, and until now neglected, story of how Australian humanitarians helped people they had barely heard of and never met, amid one of the twentieth century's most terrible human calamities. With 50 000 Armenian - Australians sharing direct family links with the Genocide, this has become truly an Australian story. Australians' responses to the wider world have a complex history but the humanitarian strand is deeply entrenched. Babkenian and Stanley have done a great service in casting light on this little - known but fascinating story.
Book Synopsis The Armenian People from Ancient to Modern Times by : Richard G. Hovannisian
Download or read book The Armenian People from Ancient to Modern Times written by Richard G. Hovannisian and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-01-27 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edited by the leading historian of the Republic of Armenia, this is the definitive history of an extraordinary country - from its earliest foundations, through the Crusades, the resistance to Ottoman and Tsarist rule, the collapse of the independent state, its brief re-emergence after World War I, its subjugation by the Bolsheviks, and the establishment of the new Republic in 1991. Written by the foremost experts on each period in Armenia's history, this book is a major contribution to understanding the complexities of Transcaucasia. Armenia is a cradle of civilization situated on one of the world's most turbulent crossroads. This volume examines the question of Armenian origins and traces domestic and international relations, society and culture through the five dynastic periods, spanning nearly two thousand years. The challenge facing the Armenian people was to maintain as much freedom as possible under the shadow of powerful neighbouring empires. The adoption of Christianity had a permanent impact on the course of Armenian history and culture. These were the heroic, colourful and harsh feudal centuries of Armenia.

Matthew was also aware of the position of other nations, such as the Armenians, Georgians, and Syrians. Upon the death of Matthew the narration was continued by another Armenian monk, Gregory the Priest.

Book Synopsis The World of the Crusades [2 volumes] by : Andrew Holt
Download or read book The World of the Crusades [2 volumes] written by Andrew Holt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-06-05 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike traditional references that recount political and military history, this encyclopedia includes entries on a wide range of aspects related to daily life during the medieval crusades. The medieval crusades were fundamental in shaping world history and provide background for the conflict that exists between the West and the Muslim world today. This two-volume set presents fundamental information about the medieval crusades as a movement and its ideological impact on both the crusaders and the peoples of the East. It takes a broad look at numerous topics related to crusading, with the goal of helping readers to better understand what inspired the crusaders, the hardships associated with crusading, and how crusading has influenced the development of cultures both in the East and the West. The first of the two thematically arranged volumes considers topics such as the arts, economics and work, food and drink, family and gender, and fashion and appearance. The second volume considers topics such as housing and community, politics and warfare, recreation and social customs, religion and beliefs, and science and technology. Within each topical section are alphabetically arranged reference entries, complete with cross-references and suggestions for further reading. Selections from primary source documents, each accompanied by an introductory headnote, give readers first-hand accounts of the crusades.
