ՍԵՎԱՆԱՎԱՆՔ. ՊԱՏՄՈՒԹՅՈՒՆԸ, ՁԵՌԱԳՐԱԿԱՆ ԵՎ ՎԻՄԱԳՐԱԿԱՆ ԺԱՌԱՆԳՈՒԹՅՈՒՆԸ
from Sevanavank’s scriptorium: the 1451 copy
of Gregory of Tatev’s Commentary on the Gos
pel of Matthew.
Among Rabunapet Daniel’s gifted students
were Bishop Nerses (the abbot of Sevan), the
monk Tiratur, Hordan of Tatev, Galust of
Ohanavank, Sargis of Ketanots, Karapet of
Shambidor, as well as miniaturists Abraham,
Grigoris, and Sahak.
The manuscript copying activities of
Sevan’s brotherhood continued in the following
centuries. Only two manuscripts from the 17th
century have survived: “Dictionary” written
for monks Melkiset and Grigor (1660) and Bish
op Mkhitar’s “The Horologion and Psalms”
(1664). From the 18th century, only one manu
script has survived: deacon Hovhannes’s collec
tion (1738). In the 19th century, more than ten
scribes created manuscripts at Sevanavank.
Among them were Mkhitar of Shamk’or and
Astvatsatur KyalyanHarutyunyan, who com
pleted Nerses of Lambron’s Commentary on
Psalms in 1819; Poghos of Sevan, who copied a
“Prayer Book” in 1806; and Zakaria Gulaspyan
of Tiflis, who wrote and copied his “Tale” three
times, dedicating it to Sevanavank’s history in
1825. The Matenadaran (manuscript repository)
also holds the original copy of Manvel Kyu
mushkhanetsi’s “History of Events,” written at
Sevanavank in 1830. Notable 19thcentury
scribes include Anton of Tiflis, who copied com
mentaries and poetry collections; scribe Simeon
TerHovhannisyan of Shaki, with six manu
rosyan of Constantinople, who authored a
16chapter monograph in 1850; and Sevana
vank abbots Harutyun Marchanyan and Kara
pet Blbulyan, from whom one manuscript each
has survived.
Sevanavank also had a libraryrepository
where manuscripts written locally and acquired
through various means were kept. Today, 121 of
these manuscripts are in the collection of the
Matenadaran (Mesrop Mashtots Institute of An
cient Manuscripts).
Sevanavank is also unique for its architec
tural complex. Historical sources and legends
testify to the existence of a fortress, pagan tem
ple, and walled castle that once stood here. On
the site of the pagan temple, St. Gregory the
Illuminator erected a wooden cross and built
the churches of Holy Resurrection and St. Kar
apet. Until the 1930s, the threenave basilica
church of Holy Mother of God, which had been
reconstructed in later periods, was still stand
ing. Today, the churches of St. Karapet and
Holy Apostles remain standing on what is now
the peninsula, and the foundation walls of an
other church are visible.
From the walls and monuments of these
structures, researchers have managed to copy
and compile 45 lapidary inscriptions in this
work, of which 28 are newly published. An ad
ditional 12 inscriptions that no longer exist are
presented based on previous publications. The
earliest publisher of these inscriptions was the
chronicler, Archimandrite Manuel Kyumush
khanetsi (1768–1843). In the 1820s, after mov
ing from Khor Virap to Sevanavank, he studied
the monastery’s history and monuments, pre
senting three inscriptions he copied, although
he was familiar with other inscriptions as well.
Epigraphic inscriptions from this monu
ment complex have been published by several
regional scholars, including Bishop Hovhannes
Shahkhatunyants, Archbishop Sargis Jalaly
ants, Archbishop Mesrop Smbatyants, Ghevond
Alishan, and Yervand Lalayan.
The monastery’s oldest inscription (dated
874 CE) was first deciphered and published by
the renowned Armenian and Caucasian studies
scholar, Levon MeliksetBek. Later, the original
text was studied by Armenologists G. Hovsep
yan and Y. Shahaziz, archaeologist K. Ghafadar
yan, and, in recent times, A. Ghazarosyan. Vari
ous inscriptions from Sevanavank have been
published by notable scholars, including the dis
tinguished Armenologist G. TerMkrtchyan,
epigraphist S. Barkhudaryan, architectural his
torian V. Harutyunyan, epigraphist A. Shahi

nian, literary scholar S. Shtikyan, epigraphist
and monument preservationist S. Saghumyan,
and manuscript expert A. Ghazarosyan. The in
scriptions from the monastery’s wooden carved
doors were included in Yevgine Musheghyan’s
wellknown work.
The monastery’s epigraphic heritage in
cludes ten constructionrelated inscriptions, of
which two refer to the creation of church doors.
The earliest document establishes the diocese
and, besides recording church construction, lists
settlements and gardens donated to the monas
tery. In our assessment, these likely constituted
the taxable territories and settlements of the
newly established monastery.
While dedicatory inscriptions are relatively
few in number, there is an abundance of memorial
inscriptions, including those found on khachkars
(crossstones) and tombstones. Of particular sig
nificance are the recorded names of four stonema
son masters who worked at the monastery: Trdat,
Davtak, David, and Zakar/Grigor.
