Ամենափրկիչ վանքի արխիւը եւ Էմին Յովսէփ Էմինի երկու նամակները», «Հայկազեան հայագիտական հանդէս», 1982-1984, Պէյրութ, էջ 281-286https://haigrepository.haigazian.edu.lb/handle/123456789/642The documents both primary and secondary dealing with the growth of Christianity in Armenia are based on traditions, which were recorded in early Armenian literature and were developed in later centuries. Among primary sources are miniature historiographical sources. They do not shed much light on the subject matter which they discuss, but they are of great value for the study of the time and the place where they were written. One of them "The History of Van", was written around 908 AD when the Artzrouni Kingdom was established in Vaspourakan, Armenia. "The History of Van" is of great importance for the study of the political expectations and the ideological movements of the first decades of the 10th century in Armenia, as well as for acquainting us with the centers of the old heathen religion of the Armenians and its remnants. At the same time, it is an important literary document for the study of the Armenian literary language of the time.
