Synopsis

This Compendium is the compilation of dispersed information and oral traditions about the history of Armenians of Ethiopia. There is nothing else like this documenting the role of Armenians in Ethiopia, although there is Haig Patapan’s book from 1930, which provides some insight, as does Boris Adjemian’s research on the “40 Lidjoch” which are both excellent resources. This unique book collating all the information up to more recent times should have been the work of Avedis Terzian, as no one ever knew the history of Armenians in Ethiopia better than him. Vartkes does come close, though, and on Salpi’s and my urging, he has written so much of the information that risks being lost, resulting in this extraordinary work,
“A Compendium of Armenians of Ethiopia.”
