Foreword
T
HE FIVE LECTURES grouped in this volume were delivered in
New York at the Pierpont Morgan Library for the Institut de
Philologie et d'Histoire Orientales et Slaves of the Ecole Libre
des Hautes Etudes, in April and May 1942. The interest shown at
the time and the requests made by those who attended the lectures
suggested the idea of publishing them. It seemed, however, that a
wider audience might be reached in this country if they appeared
in English, instead of in French as they were delivered; but in trans-
lating these lectures I have retained the form in which they were
given.
This book is not primarily intended for the specialist; all foot-
notes and references have therefore been omitted and only a brief
bibliography attached for those who wish to obtain further informa-
tion on the subject. My principal purpose is to give, in a brief form,
a general picture of an art and civilization which are not familiar
to most people. I hope, however, that students of East Christian and
Medieval art will find in these pages useful information.
The publication of this volume was made possible through a grant
from the Melkonian Fund of the Armenian General Benevolent
Union in New York. I am deeply grateful to the President and mem-
bers of the Committee on Publications for their interest and as-
sistance. The friends who advised and encouraged me cannot all be
mentioned here, though their help was greatly appreciated; but
I wish to express my special indebtedness to Professor Henri
Grégoire, Vice-President of the Institut de Philologie et d'Histoire
Orientales et Slaves, for inviting me to deliver these lectures and
for honoring me by writing the preface; to Professor Kenneth J.
