Note 49 — Chapter XVI · EDGMIATSIN AND THE ARMENIAN CHURCH
Reading edition
Schillinger, Persianische und Ost-Indianische Reise, Nürnberg, 1707. I do not credit the statement of Evliya, who visited Edgmiatsin in A.D. 1647, to the effect that at that time the monastery was inhabited by about 500 monks. ↑
