July 7 – August 1, 2025

In partnership with Dumbarton Oaks and the Zohrab Center of the Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Church of America, this four-week intensive course will be an introduction to Armenian language and paleography.

Course fees, meals, and lodging for participants are generously sponsored by Dumbarton Oaks.

The course will introduce students to the Classical Armenian language. Students will also be introduced to the primary lexica, manuscript repositories, and print and online resources available for research on pre-modern Armenian texts.

By the end of the course, students will be able to independently approach Classical Armenian texts with a comprehensive grasp of grammar and syntax, able to translate from Armenian into English with confidence.
