Part of the Sophene Dual Language Series:
This is the complete 3-volume paperback set of the History of the Aghuans, in Classical Armenian with a facing English translation by Robert Bedrosian.
The History of the Aghuans is a major source for the history of the indigenous Aghuan people of Caucasia from the earliest times to about A.D. 988. Aghuania (also Aghuank, Arran, Aghbania, Caucasian Albania) comprised parts of modern Dagestan and Azerbaijan, Armenia’s eastern neighbor. Its ancient peoples and their numerous languages were noted occasionally by classical Greek and Latin authors. Like the neighboring Armenians, the Aghuans were part of the Iranian-Zoroastrian culture-world for at least a millennium. Their royalty and nobility had marriage ties with their counterparts in Iran and Armenia. Also, like Armenia, Aghuania was among the countries early visited by the Apostles; and the Aghuan and Armenian churches were frequently united. Book 1 gives a brief summary of Armenian and Aghuanian history reaching to the end of the 5th century. Book 2 describes events from the 5th-7th centuries reaching the year 683. Book III describes the Arab domination and reaches into the 10th century.
