Document Details : Title: Armenians in contact with Islam Subtitle: Seventh to fourteenth centuries Author(s): DADOYAN, S.B. Journal: Journal of Eastern Christian Studies Volume: 52 Issue: 3-4 Date: 2000 Pages: 175-199 DOI: 10.2143/JECS.52.3.565600 Abstract : Less than two decades after the rise of Islam, Armenians were exposed to and interacted with cultural and political Islam in most intriguing manners. The exposition, classification and analysis of these patterns of interaction is the subject of this paper (which is in fact the abstract of a book in progress). The geographical area under study covers Greater Armenia, Upper Mesopotamia,Bilād al-Shām and Egypt during the period from the eighth century to the end of the fourteenth. The historic record of over seven centuries of Islamic-Armenian relations is available though scattered, but this ongoing reality never developed into an academic discipline both in Armenology and Near Eastern studies in general. |
