Ojciec Ghewond Aliszan: poeta i historyk promiennej Armenii

Abstract

Father Ghewond Alishan: Poet and Historian of Bright Armenia The article is an attempt to present the legacy of the Venetian Mechitarist, Father Ghewond Alishan (1820-1901) and show him as an armenologist, poet and propagator of Armenian patriotism. In addition, the author examines Alishan’s correspondence (the collection of letters is currently being prepared for print), which offers a special, more personal perspective on Alishan and the Venetian monastery on the island of San Lazzaro, where he spent most of his life.
