Medieval Armenian Historiography as a Civilizational Phenomenon

Armenian historiography is a civilizational phenomenon. The transmission of historical knowledge from generation to generation as a mechanism for the reproduction of historical memory varies among different peoples. Among Armenians, on the one hand, we have the principle of written transmission in the form of historiography and the oral principle, which was transmitted in the form of epics, reached its highest form by the 19th century and was written down starting from 1874.
