INTRODUCTION / 1^ C3,Ê: This valuable work by Father Michael Chamich, a member of the Mekhitarist Brotherhood and a great authority on Armenian history, was translated in 1827 by Johannes Avdall, a British citizen of Armenian origin. In compiling this historical account, Father Chamich was following in the footsteps of Movses Khorenatzi, Armenia's first historian, whose pioneer work covered the period from the Creation to 5th Century A.D. What is most remarkable about this volume, perhaps, is not only the scope and detail of Armenian history which it covers (2247 B.C. to 1780 A.D., with an appended historical update by Mr. Avdall), but also the translator's objective: "to excite in the breasts of Christians of every denomination a feeling of sympathy for the fate of my oppressed country, and rouse the dormant embers of patriotism in the bosoms of my expatriated countrymen to exert all their power for the regeneration of Armenia." In many ways, these words are as true today as they were when they were written. We have only to look at the unfortunate circumstances of the beleagured Armenian region of Artzakh (Karabagh), which at this writing is under the control of the Azerbaijan SSR, whose people are akin to those who perpetrated the Genocide of almost 2 million Armenians in Turkey in the early 20th Century. This book, therefore, should not only be read from the viewpoint of historical curiosity but also for the underlying expression of Armenian love and faith that motivated Father Chamich to write it and Mr. Avdall to translate it.
