The only serious study of cartography in Armenian was made available almost 60 years ago in 1957 by the Soviet scholar Hovhannes Stepanian, entitled Armenian Cartographic Publications of 260 years (1695-1955), published in Yerevan. The study however contains only one low quality map image along with many other shortcomings, nor does it consider many of the maps prepared and published by Armenians living outside the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. In order to rectify this, Rouben Galichian offers here an almost complete study of the history of Armenian cartography from its inception up to the year 1918, including images of as many maps as possible. Appearing in print for the first time are a number of maps, mainly in private collections, that have come to light through Galichian s extensive research. The final chapter of the book also includes manuscript maps made between 1890-1968 which represent important contributions to the Armenian cartographic heritage. Meanwhile, the author does not rule out other maps in Armenian that may exist in other private collections yet remain inaccessible to the public.
