1997-1998: Research at the NIAS Institute, Wassenaar, The Netherlands

"The research of my group at NIAS will deal with techniques of translation, particularly from Greek into Armenian. I intend to work mainly on the late antique philosophical treatise, De Natura. In addition to reassessing the current edition with an eye to replacing it with an electronic edition, I intend jointly with Jaap Mansfeld to complete the English translation and commentary. My second project will be to complete a book on traditions of the temptation of Adam and Eve, the so-called legend of the "Cheirograph of Adam" utilizing literary and iconographic sources in a variety of languages: Ethiopic, Syriac, Hebrew, Slavonic, Armenian and Georgian."

Research Interests:

Armenian literature, particularly that deriving from and associated with the Bible. Armenian paleography and Armenian epigraphy, with particular stress on the Holy Land and Sinai. The development of apocryphal traditions in Judaism and Christianity. Jewish literature and thought of the Second Temple period, including the Dead Sea Scrolls. Armenian manuscripts. History of the Armenians in the Holy Land. Pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

Research Projects:

1. The Story of Adam and Eve in Jewish and Christian Tradition (with Prof. Gary Anderson, University of Virginia). Funding: Institute for Technology and Humanities, University of Virginia; National Endowment for the Humanities (USA).

2. Leiden-Jerusalem Armenian Data Base (with Dr. J.J.S. Weitenberg, Leiden University). Funding: Israel Science Foundation.

3. The Album of Armenian Paleography (with Profs. Henning Lehmann and Dickran Kouymjian). Funding: The Carlsberg Foundation; The Gulbenkian Foundation.

4. The Census of Armenian Manuscripts (with Prof. Bernard Coulie, Louvain-la-neuve).

5. Adam and Eve in the Armenian tradition. Funding: Israel Science Foundation.

Abstracts of Current Research:

Studies in Jewish apocryphal literature and the Dead Sea Scrolls:

A current focus of interest is the functioning of Jewish Apocryphal literature and traditions in later Jewish and Christian usage, including the Qumran texts relating to Noah, Levi, Qahat and Amram, and Biblical Apocrypha at Qumran. Major work is underway on the Adam and Eve traditions and literature, both in ancient Judaism and in their later Jewish and Christian developments.

Apocryphal literature in Armenian:

Work continues for the publication of Jewish and Biblical texts which have been preserved in the Armenian Church. A volume of texts on Adam and Eve has recently been published, and a critical edition of the Armenian version of the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs is being prepared.

Key words:

Apocrypha; Pseudepigrapha; Dead Sea Scrolls; Armenian, epigraphy; Armenians; inscriptions, Armenian; Adam and Eve, manuscripts; paleography; textual databases; concordances
