The Catholicosate of Cilicia’s Printing House in Antelias recently
published the second edition of Dr. Haroutyoun Der Ghazarian’s
topographical work " Armenian Cilicia" with the generous financial
support of the Department of Armenian Affairs of the Calouste
Gulbenkian Foundation.

The first edition of this valuable topographical work on Cilicia was
published in 1966 also in Antelias. The author has dedicated his book
to "the eternal memory of passionate protector of the Armenian Church
and the Cilician See, Catholicos Zareh I."

This study is unique in its kind as the only topographical study
of the region. In 399 pages, it condenses valuable information,
photographs and topographical maps prepared by the author himself.

Dr. Der Ghougassian has authored the book based on his observations
during his journeys through Cilicia as a young man. The work was first
prepared as a personal self-interest on the part of the author and
was later edited for publication. It is particularly valuable for
researchers interested in the Cilician world.
