The Church-Union of the Armenians in Transylvania (1685-1715)

Edited by Christopher B. Brown.

Bishop Oxendio Virziresco's pastoral activity and the church-union of the Armenians in Transylvania proved to be a marginal subject from church-historical point of view for a long time. This qualifies as simultaneously advantage as well as disadvantage for the scholarship, too. It was an advantage because just few information had been at scholarship's disposal through long decades. Furthermore, the literature concerning this theme was not easily available. The advantage of the above-mentioned marginality was actually concealed beneath that of the disadvantage. Upon basis of the less systemised documents, very interesting and colourful view unfolded upon the Armenians' confessional situation. As a matter of fact, we received inspection of the events in Transylvania belonged to the period 1685-1715, from the Armenians' point of view. 251 Seiten, gebunden (Refo500 Academic Studies; Vol. 81/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2021) Mängelexemplarstempel auf Schnitt, Einband etwas berieben/defect copy stamp on cut, somewhat rubbed
