Synopsis

In The Great and Marvelous Mystery, distinguished scholar Professor Arshak Madoyan presents a profound exploration of Armenian medieval literature. This volume functions both as a scholarly reference guide and as a carefully curated anthology, opening access to a literary and spiritual tradition that has played a central role in Armenian cultural continuity.

For the first time in an accessible English edition, the reader is introduced to key dimensions of Armenian intellectual heritage—from the creation of the Armenian alphabet to the theological, historical, and poetic achievements of the Middle Ages. The book offers a structured pathway into one of the world’s oldest Christian literary traditions.

What you will find inside:

  • A Comprehensive Survey: A systematic overview of Armenian literature, its historical development, and its role in shaping cultural identity.

  • An Anthology of Texts: Selected medieval writings—hymns, narratives, and poetic works—presented with attention to their literary and spiritual significance.

  • Scholarly Commentary: Analytical insights by Professor Arshak Madoyan (Doctor of Philology), whose work contributes to the study of Armenian medieval thought and literature.

  • A Cultural Perspective: An examination of how language and literature have functioned as enduring instruments of continuity and self-definition.

This book is intended for students of medieval studies, scholars of world literature, and readers interested in Armenian culture. It offers both an academic resource and an entry point into a rich and historically layered tradition.
