Abstract

In 1075/1076 Grigor Vkayaser (Martyrophil) started a prolific translational activity, trying to protect the Armenian Church from Byzantine encroachments when a new geopolitical situation was created after the fall of the Bagratuni kingdom of Armenia. He enriched Armenian ecclesiastical literature, and with the help of his associates, established educational centers in Cilicia. For translating some writings, Grigor Vkayaser involved foreign translators generously paying them for their work. They translated the original Greek text verbatim into Armenian, and then the text was revised by an Armenian erudite. This method of translation requires a thorough study in order to gain a better understanding of the reasons for its use.
