Abstract
Teotig (1873–1928) was a Western Armenian writer and journalist well-known during the first quarter of the twentieth century, along other works, for the publication of his Amenun Daretsuytsi (Everyone’s Almanac), which appeared in Constantinople, Venice, Vienna, and Paris from 1907–1929. His almanac reached a level that has remained unsurpassed among works of this genre in Armenian journalism, and became a reference source for new generations of researchers.
Each volume of Amenun Daretsuytsi recorded quotes from many letters received from important names of Armenian literature, which is evidence that Teotig kept a voluminous correspondence with them, as well as many other writers. This publication offers to the reader 20 unpublished letters from various authors, such as Patriarch Maghakia Ormanian, Bishop Papken Gulesserian, Father Arsen Ghazikian, Dikran Gamsaragan, Suren Bartevian, Mikayel S. Gurjian, Vahan Totovents, Shushanik Kurghinian, Minas Tcheraz, Hrand Nazariantz, Inga Nalbantian, and many others.
The whereabouts of the originals are unknown. Photocopies of these letters are kept in a folder at the Krikor and Clara Zohrab Information Center of New York, together with many other letters addressed to different people, and samples of poems and manuscripts. They appear to have been collected by Sarkis Sakayan, a literary amateur friend with Teotig. The letters, which have been annotated in detail, contain valuable information that enriches our knowledge of literary, culture, and political issues of the time.
