This session is presented by members of the ERC project Armenia Entangled: Connectivity and Cultural Encounters in Medieval Eurasia 9th - 14th Centuries (ArmEn) and its sister project HAI Mobility, both led by P.I. Prof. Zaroui Pogossian at the University of Florence.
ArmEn focuses on a vast region stretching from the southern Caucasus to Anatolia and northern Mesopotamia, a polycentric space of moving people(s) and cultural entanglements that was at the same time at the crossroads of expanding Eurasian empires and removed from major hubs of power.
Within this fluid and complex environment, the papers included in the session assess different reactions and responses to individual and/or collective crises through the lens of material and textual sources.

From pilgrimage sites in the far west of Europe to the Persian court; from mystic visions to a gruesome contemporary “dance”; from a mundane poem on wine to staggering religious art: thus far in space and time extends the world of the Armenians.
A glimpse of the vast and still largely unexplored threads that connect it to the wider world is offered by the papers assembled here in homage to one of the most versatile contemporary armenologists, Theo Maarten van Lint.
This collection offers original insights through a multifaceted lens, showing how much Armenology can offer to Art History, History, Linguistics, Philology, Literature, and Religious Studies. Scholars will find new inspirations and connections, while the general reader will open a window to a world that is just as wide as it is often unseen.

This is an open access chapter distributed under the terms of the cc by-nc-nd 4.0 license.
Five Platonic or pseudo-Platonic dialogues survive in ancient Armenian translations (Timaeus, Euthyphro, Apology of Socrates, Laws, and Minos). They are anonymous and undated, as well as critically unedited. At the present state of knowledge, they are attested only in one complete and comparatively late manuscript of uncertain date (V 1123: 17th century?). However, earlier partial witnesses, as well as direct quotations or references in dated Armenian works, could contribute to narrowing down their original timeframe.
Tinti focuses on the traces of textual circulation and indirect tradition that have been so far identified for one of the dialogues, including some that are presented here for the first time. The sum of the data proves that the Armenian Timaeus at least did not exist in a void; on the contrary, it seems to have had a certain amount of textual circulation in different areas of the Armenian-speaking world. The minor witnesses also provide reassuring indications as to the reliability of V 1123, which, despite being quite recent, seems to preserve in many cases a more conservative state of the text. Finally, the analysis confirms that this line of research can provide meaningful clues towards establishing the versions’ date and authorship.

From pilgrimage sites in the far west of Europe to the Persian court; from mystic visions to a gruesome contemporary “dance”; from a mundane poem on wine to staggering religious art: thus far in space and time extends the world of the Armenians.
