Original text
I am equally indebted to Professor Babken K. Harut'yunyan, dean of the Faculty of History at the University of Erevan, a student of Eremyan, and the foremost Armenian historical geographer of the present day, who, visiting America at the eleventh hour of the work on this project, gave unstintingly of his time and knowledge. Space does not permit me to convey adequately the great contribution that Professor Harut'yunyan has made to this work, whether reading the maps, explicating the sources, discussing historical-geographical questions until well past midnight, or correcting the errors that I had either made myself or had drawn from the work of my predecessors. Through his kindness and generosity of spirit he has brought credit to himself, to his institution, and to the world of Armenian scholarship. Without his good counsel, this atlas would be a much less sophisticated work than it is.
