Armenistika

Among its main centers are Venice , Vienna , Moscow , St. Petersburg , Tiflis , Constantinople , Paris , London , Berlin , Leipzig , and in Armenia itself Vagharshapat . Armenian studies are closely interrelated with Byzantism, Caucasian studies, urarty, Oriental studies and other areas of science ^{[1] [2]}

Inchichyan were undertaking work on the creation of the multi-volume Geography of the World from Four Parts (vols. 1-10, 1802-1806), from which a new stage of scientific study of the geography of Armenia begins (from the Middle Ages “ Ashkharatsuyts ” of Shirakatsi , “Geography” of Areveltsi and others) are known. G. Alishan, the author of the works “Toponymy of Great Armenia” (1853), “Sisevan” (1885), “Shirak” (1881), “Ayrarat” (1890), “Sisakan” (1893), etc., made a special contribution in this area. d.

Ethnography and philology

The Venetian mkhitarist Michael Chamchyan, on the basis of Armenian and other historical sources, writes the general history of Armenia from the beginning to the XVIII century (“History of Armenia”, vol. 1-3, 1784—1786). In many questions of political history, this work retains its scientific value to this day. Further, the general history of Armenia was written by G. Gatrchyan, S. Palasanyan, K. Kostanjants, K. Basmadjian, M. Ormanyan , G. Geltser, J. de Morgan, F. Turnbiz, and others. The works of A relate to certain epochs of Armenian history . Garagashyan , G. Asturyan, G. Khalatyants, G. Santlchyan, N.

Egiazarov , K. Ter-Mkrtchyan, A. Yeritsyan , K. Ezyan, V. Zardaryan, Leo , A. Zaminian, I. Javakhov, S. Dil, K. Exhard, V. Bernhard, V. Bryusov , etc.). The works of M. Bzhkian, A. Altunian, G.

The excavations of Nikolai Marr in Ani (1892–1893, 1904–1917) and V. Belka and K. Hehman-Haupt in Toprak-Kale (Van) turned out to be especially important. A. Kalantar played an important role in this area (he led the excavations at Ani in 1914, and then in many regions of Armenia, founded the department of archeology at Yerevan University), T. Toromanyan and others ^[1] .
