Venice, The Armenian Monastery of St. Lazarus, 1873. First published 1819. — 160 p.
Lord Byron (1788-1824) visited the Armenian Monastery of St. Lazarus in Venice in 1816, where he acquainted himself with Armenian culture with the help of the abbots belonging to the Mechitarist Order. Father Harowtyown Avgerian (1774-1854), who wrote under the pseudonym Pascal Aucher, helped him to learn the Armenian language, and Byron attended many seminars about language and history. He co-authored and financed the publication of
English Grammar and Armenian in 1817, and
Armenian Grammar and English in 1819, where he included some specimens of classical and modern Armenian poetry in his own translations.
