Half a century later, the first bibliographical lists and studies dedicated to the history of the Armenian periodical started to appear. The first known historians of the Armenian periodicals were, in historical order, Philibos Jamjian, Grigoris Aleatjian, Victor Langlois, and Thateos Mihrtadiants. The article sheds new light on the question and shows that the author of the two unsigned articles - published in "Pazmaveb" (Venice) in the year 1874, and dedicated to the history of the Armenian periodical - is Father Gabriel Aivazovsky (Aivazian). The author declares him to be the father of the history of the Armenian periodical.
