Document Details : Title: An Armenian King in Exile Subtitle: New Julfa's Shah Through a Persian Edict and an Armenian Bible Author(s): BAGHDIANTZ McCABE, Ina Journal: Revue des Études Arméniennes Volume: 27 Date: 1998-2000 Pages: 321-328 DOI: 10.2143/REA.27.0.563265 Abstract : Perhaps one of the most surprising discoveries of the author’s research on the socio-economic life of the inhabitants of New Julfa was that the Armenian suburb of Isfahan could be officially called a kingdom, with a king recognized by the Safavids, albeit only for a specific period of time. A leader, or perhaps even two leaders, of New Julfa bore the official title of shah (king), a title the author examines in both its Persian and Armenian forms as found in two primary sources. |
