Dr David Zakarian 'Catholic Missionaries, Fratres Unitores and the Armenian Apostolic Clergy in the Second Half of the 14th Century'
PAST EVENT | 27 February 2018 17:00 - 27 February 2018 18:30
While small in numbers relative to global Christianity, multi-ethnic Eastern Christian communities are amongst the most ancient natives in the Middle East and the wider West Asia region. Four of the five most important hierarchical centres in Christianity are in this region, whose roots go back to two millennia. These lecture seminars are part of the series on Eastern Christianity held in the last four years, which highlight the rich historical, theological, literary and cultural heritage of Eastern family of churches.
This event is part of the Eastern Christianity Historical, Theological and Cultural Heritage Series.
Conveners: Dr Hratch Tchilingirian and Prof Theo Maarten van Lint.
This event will take place on 27th February at 5pm in the Allen and Overy Room, Pembroke College. It is free and open to the public.
David Zakarian is British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Faculty of Oriental Studies and is currently working on Armenian colophons of the late 14th and 15th centuries. He has done MSt in Classical Armenian Studies at Pembroke College and prior to an MA in English Literature at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. His DPhil dissertation, which he successfully defended in 2015, is entitled “The Representation of Women in Early Christian Literature: Armenian Texts of the Fifth Century”. David has published several articles and book chapters related to his research topic. His current research on medieval Armenian colophons endeavours to make them available in English translation and make it accessible to scholars who have no command of Classical and Middle Armenian. He is also preparing a study of Christian-Muslim interactions as presented in the colophons.
