Abstract
The trade routes of Medieval Armenia show how international traffic between the Pontus and Central Asia passed through Armenia, which relates to Jewish presence. A number of historical sources for Jews in Armenia are presented. There were Jewish settlements in Dvin (seventh through ninth centuries), Vaspurakan (ninth century), Kapan (twelfth century), Vayoc‘ Jor (thirteenth and fourteenth centuries), and elsewhere. Furthermore, the recently discovered Jewish Cemetery in Ełegis (1266–1346) is discussed in the chapter—the find, its inscriptions, the decoration, its Persian origin, its character, and its implied relationship with the cultural milieu—as well as why the Jews supposedly disappear from the sources in the fourteenth century.
