The Armenians, Ancient People and Places, Sirarpie Der Nersessian (hardcover)

This classic and highly authoritative study of ancient and medieval Armenia begins with a chapter on the history of Urartu. Then Professor Sirarpie Der Nersessian traces the history of the Armenians up to the capture of Ani by the Seljuks in 1064, adding a further chapter on the kingdom of Cilicia, which Armenians subsequently founded and which existed until the fourteenth century. She also devotes chapters to social organization, religion, literature and learning, architecture, sculpture, and painting.
