History of Vartan, and of the Battle of the Armenians recounts the pivotal religious wars between Persia and Armenia. Penned by Elisée Vardapet and translated by Neumann, this historical account details the struggle of the Armenian people to maintain their Christian faith against the Zoroastrian Persian Empire in the 5th century. Central to the narrative is Vartan Mamikonian, a key figure in Armenian history, who led the Armenian army in the Battle of Avarayr in 451 AD. Though a military defeat, the battle is considered a spiritual victory and a symbol of Armenian resistance and faith. This book offers insight into the political and religious landscape of the era, shedding light on the enduring legacy of Armenian Christianity and its fight for survival.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
