Course Information

Description

This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of the grammar of Classical or Old Armenian (գրաբար / grabar), the written form of the Armenian language from the fifth century AD to the early modern period. Once a sufficient basis of grammar and vocabulary has been covered, there will be readings of Classical Armenian texts, which may be chosen based on student interest. Students will also be introduced to the primary lexica, manuscript repositories, and print and online resources that may aid them in their subsequent research on premodern Armenian texts.
