Recenzje

This is a significant work for those interested in both Jewish and Armenian history, as well as the entire Near East and the Caucasus during ancient and medieval times. While very detailed and chock full of information, the book tells a compelling and balanced story. We learn of the many interrelated aspects of Armenian and Jewish history in pre-modern periods DS including clear evidence for long-thriving Jewish communities in historic Armenia.
