Armenia Christiana

This book delves into the intricate and fascinating narrative of Armenia's ecclesiastical ties with the Byzantine Empire, and later with Roman Christendom during the medieval period. It is based on a rich collection of sources, including Armenian, Greek, Latin, and Syrian chronicles and documents. Highlighted within are the extensive correspondences between the Holy See and the Armenian Church. Krzysztof Stopka, a noted expert in medieval history from Krakow, tackles issues that intersect history and theology, shedding light on a pivotal yet not widely acknowledged chapter in the quest for Christian unity. At the Jagiellonian University, where he leads the department of the history of culture and the teaching of history, Stopka also serves as the director of the University Museum. His scholarly contributions extend to Armenian topics, encompassing books in Polish about the Armenian Church's presence in Eastern Europe during the Middle Ages and the history of Armenians in Poland, which illustrate their influence on Polish culture. He co-authored "Ormianska Warszawa" (2013), a study on the Armenians of Warsaw, which was honored with the top prize in the Clio Contest, Poland's leading competition for historical books.
