Bibliography.
Index.
Anne Elizabeth Redgate was born in Lancashire and educated at Bolton School Girls' Division and St. Anne's College, Oxford. She is Lecturer in History at the University of Newcastle where she teaches early medieval history.
"The many virtues of the work are self-evident: illustrated by
plentiful maps, handsomely produced and bibliographically
comprehensive, the authoritative scholarly narrative and expert
analysis on display is never less than impeccably professional."
English Historical Review.
"A broadly conceived introduction to the political and social
history of Armenia ... this is a valuable book which fills a
serious gap. It deserves a wide circulation among those interested
in the early history of the Armenian people and their Church."
Ecclesiastical History.
"In this work, A. E. Redgate has brought to bear her considerable
knowledge of history and her carefuul use of primary sources to
provide us with a book which is learned, objective, well-argued,
and eminently readable ... if a person could have only one book on
Armenian history, this is the book." Canadian Journal of History
