Oskan Erewanc‘i as a Translator from and into Latin
View through CrossRef
Oskan vardapet Erewanc‘i (1614–1674) was a prominent Armenian printer, best known
for producing the first printed edition of the Armenian Bible (Amsterdam, 1666–1668).
He was also active as a translator both from and into Latin. Erewanc‘i translated and
subsequently abridged a grammatical treatise originally composed in Latin by the Italian
philosopher Tommaso Campanella (1568–1639). While the full translation survives in
a few manuscripts, the abridged version was printed in 1666 by the same Amsterdambased press that issued the Bible. In addition, Oskan contributed to a Latin translation of
the shorter version of Koriwn’s Life of Maštoc‘. Although the original Life was composed
in the fifth century, it also exists in a later abridged form, which served as the basis for
Oskan’s translation. This paper examines Oskan’s role as a translator between Latin and
Armenian, focusing on his objectives and methods.
