Armenia: Life and Study of an Enduring Culture
PAST EVENT | 05 May 2016 19:00
On 5th May, Dr Emilio Bonfiglio - British Academy Post-Doctoral Fellow at Pembroke College, Oxford - will be giving a lecture entitled John Chrysostom in the Ancient Armenian Translations: Terra Incognita?
The lecture is free and all are welcome to attend.
The Armenians' experience with written Armenian literature begins with the translation of the Bible and the Greek and Syriac Fathers, an enterprise that took place immediately after the invention of the Armenian alphabet at the beginning of the 5th century. This lecture deals with the ancient Armenian translations of the corpus Chrysostomicum, presents the state of the art, and looks for possible paths for future research.
This lecture, in the Pichette Auditorium at Pembroke College, is the first in a series of seven lectures held in Trinity Term. The series, sponsored by the Armenian General Benevolent Union, commemorates the Armenian Genocide that began in 1915. The events also celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the establishment of the Calouste Gulbenkian Professorship in Armenian Studies at Pembroke College, University of Oxford, in 1965.
Convenor: Theo Maarten van Lint (theo.vanlint@orinst.ox.ac.uk)
