Armenian Calligraphy

[15levels]

<H3 class=document-title>The Art of Armenian Calligraphy / ՀԱՅԿԱԿԱՆ ԱՐՎԵՍՏԱԳՐՈՒԹՅԻԻՆ </H3>Co-authored with: Michael Stone, Dikran Koyumjian

I am currently engaged in a work on a book dedicated to the history and evolution of the Armenian script and it's alluring and largely understudied calligraphic tradition. It will contain most of the recent research on the Armenian paleography (Stone, Kouymjian and hopefully J.R.Russell amongst others) along with my own calligraphic work.

The aim of the book is to provide an extensive visual and intellectual inquiry into the roots and evolution of the Armenian script system. It follows the development of the Armenian alphabet and its applications in lapidary inscriptions, manuscripts, applied arts, etc. A chapter will be dedicated to Calligraphy studies within the Armenian Classical Education System (prior to the genocide). It will be a tri-lingual edition - Armenian, English and Hebrew.
