In the third volume of the trilogy, Seta B. Dadoyan focuses on
social and cultural aspects, rather than the core political focus
exhibited in her first two volumes. Her objective is to suggest
political readings of these themes and related texts by revealing
hitherto unstudied and novel interactions in the cities of Asia
Minor during the Mongol Period. Dadoyan focuses on the Armenian
condition and role in the medieval Islamic world. She argues that
if the entire region was the habitat of most of the Armenians,
their history too is part of these locations and peoples. Dadoyan
draws the outlines of a new philosophy of Armenian history based on
hitherto obscured patterns of interaction. The first three chapters
of this volume are dedicated to the images of Prophet Muhammad in
Armenian literature. Dadoyan shows that direct interactions and
borrowings happened regularly from Islamic sciences, reform
projects, poetry, and arts. Dadoyan argues that the cosmopolitan
urban environments were radically different from rural areas and
close interactions took different and unexpected patterns. In the
last part of the volume, she presents the first and only
polemical-apologetic Armenian texts addressed to Islam at the end
of the fourteenth century. This book is essential for all
historians and Middle East scholars and is the latest volume in
Transaction's Armenian Studies series.
