Last week @tla.bsky.social and @lewread.bsky.social participated in the 16th general conference of the Association Internationale des Etudes Arméniennes, discussing digital approaches to medieval Armenian source material.

It was a pleasure to be in Yerevan 🇦🇲 last week to share a working prototype for a new digital corpus of medieval Armenian colophons developed in collaboration with the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts. More to come! 📜
