Hakob Manandyan was one of the great scientists who, by teaching at the Gevorgyan Theological Seminary, had turned that institution into the world's largest center of Armenology. Manandyan spoke more than ten languages, and taught history as well as various languages at the seminary. He wrote more than 150 scientific works in Armenian, Russian, and German. After the seminary was closed, when the first state university was opened, Manandyan became the head of the history department, and then was elected rector of the university. He was one of the founding academicians of the National Academy of Sciences. When the scientist was reminded of his great merit, he replied that all this should be considered a tribute of gratitude to the seminary, where he spent his best years.
