The Translation of the "Book of Books" and Armenian Medieval Literature

Although the Armenian people had a rich folklore even before the invention of writing, Armenian literature essentially began with the invention of writing and the translation of the Bible. How did the translation of the Bible affect the development of Armenian medieval literature, and how was the Armenian written artistic tradition formed? Literary scholars Hayk Hambardzumyan and Arkmenik Nikoghosyan discuss these issues in the program "Parallel Readings."
