THE SECOND EDITION OF "ARMENIAN CILICIA"

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.
