After my stay in Princeton and a weekend off in NYC, it was onwards to St Nersess. Thanks to Robert Ervine, Ania Shahinian and Yervant Kutchukian for the wonderful welcome! 5/7

Thanks to Jack Tannous for the invitation to speak in Princeton. It was my first time visiting and hopefully not my last! Thanks to the audience that showed up to listen to my ramblings: not only students and researchers but also some unexpected malphone who turned out to be in the country! 4/7

At Princeton I talked about my views on Syro-Armenian history, the urgent need for an overarching approach, continuing and extending the work that was first started by Erwand Ter-Minasyan more than 100 years ago but which is now completely outdated 2/7

Also next week!

Bilingual Armenian-Syriac monument commemorating the Seyfo (genocide of Syriac Christians) in 1915. Erected in Yerevan in 2012 in a park on the corner of Nalbandyan and Moskovian St.

Later this month I will be presenting some thoughts on a field I have been active in for over 15 years now, and I am honoured to present them in the context of the lecture series of the Austrian-Armenian Studies Society!
It is possible to attend online via this link: t.co/ifTc9HDPnM

On Monday I am giving a lecture on the desert fathers and mothers in the Armenian tradition for my fellow Egyptologists of UniWien who invited me to talk about my research.
All our welcome! The lecture is hybrid, a Zoom link is available via this link: egyptology.univie.ac.at/news-events/...

Next week! With a contribution by yours truly on Syriac-Armenian bilingualism

Some Armenian scribes use symbols instead of words to save space. In this case a moon in a calendrical treatise in a manuscript from 1342.
