Waldemar Deluga Books

This volume features 10 studies on the history and art of the Armenian Diaspora, spanning from the Byzantine era to modern times. The contributors are leading researchers from prominent centers focused on Armenian art history. Several articles highlight previously unknown monuments, including a recently discovered manuscript from 1352, part of a collection owned by French collector Guillaume Aral, and the 17th-century Armenian Bible housed in the Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon. Historical insights into the Armenian Diaspora in Central Europe are also provided. The collection concludes with contemporary discussions. The table of contents includes contributions such as Waldemar Deluga's introduction, Emma Chookaszian's examination of a manuscript from the Crimean school, and Beatrice Tolidjan's overview of church building and facade decoration in Ottoman Macedonia, reflecting medieval Armenian influences. Other notable articles address the cultural heritage of the Armenian traveler Simeon Lehatsi, the experiences of Armenians in the Carpathians facing Roman-Greek proselytism, and an interdisciplinary study of the Gulbenkian Bible. Additional topics cover the art of Rafał Hadziewicz in Warsaw churches, collecting practices within the Eastern European Armenian Diaspora, and the work of Leopold Gaszczyk, an unknown photographer in Syria. The volume also discusses the current situation of Armenian cultural heritage in Nagorno-Karabak
