Abstract

This article traces the evolution of grammatical study in Greater Armenia over the transition from the Late Antiqueto the early Medieval period (6th–9th cc.). It argues for the movement’s origins in a lay scholarly elite in contact with Alexandriathat conceived of its task as expanding the discipline through the judicial consideration of Armenian linguistic data. Diversefactors then led to the tradition’s embrace by the upper clergy and its subsequent inclusion into the curriculum of monasticschools in a Christianized version.
