Dialogi z podręcznika gramatyki, teologii, filozofii i systematyki spisane przez Awedyka (XVII w.)

The manuscript no. 3522 from the collection in Matenadaran, the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts in Yerevan, was written as a textbook in the first half of the 17th century. It was meant to teach young Armenians living in Lwów (Kingdom of Poland) the tenets of Christian faith, as well as selected issues concerning ethics, logic and grammar. This trilingual book — written in Armenian, Kipchak and Polish — is a valuable source of information about forms of religious education in Polish‑Armenian schools and relationships between languages. The Armenian‑Kipchak part, being a subject of linguistic analysis, contains a Polish‑Armenian‑Kipchak glossary, paradigms and dialogues. The latter form the basis for the current edition, being collated with the original text, transcribed basing on a system used by the author and translated into Polish.
