The Westernmost and Easternmost Borders of Christendom: Early Christianity in Armenia and Ireland

Descrizione del progetto

Uno studio comparativo sul primo cristianesimo irlandese e armeno

L’Armenia e l’Irlanda rappresentavano rispettivamente i confini più orientali e più occidentali della cristianità e del territorio coperto dalla Pax Romana. Tuttavia, le storie delle due chiese non sono mai state sottoposte a uno studio comparativo. Il progetto CHRISTIAN_FRONTIERS, finanziato dall’UE, approfondirà le prime identità cristiane armene e irlandesi e preciserà come queste abbiano compreso la propria posizione rispetto al papato romano e come Roma abbia considerato queste due chiese distanti. Esplorerà la storia e le caratteristiche di difesa delle due chiese nazionali. Introdurrà una nuova metodologia basata su uno studio comparativo del cristianesimo irlandese e armeno, utilizzando una vasta gamma di fonti provenienti dall’Irlanda e dall’Armenia, contribuendo a fatti relativi alla storia medievale dei due paesi.

Obiettivo

The Christian_Frontiers aims to research the early history of Christianity in the westernmost and easternmost borders of Christendom, that is, in Armenia and Ireland. Neither Armenia, nor Ireland were just the confines of the Roman world, but also the Pax Romana. The aim of this project is to trace early Armenian and Irish Christian identity, to determine how they identified themselves regarding the Roman papacy and how Rome perceived these two remote churches, which were beyond empires. During the work on the Christian_Frontiers not only the history of two national churches will be examined, but also the defending features of Eastern and Western Churches will be explored through the example of Irish and Armenian churches. The history of Irish Christianity has never been researched in comparison to Eastern Christianity, just as Armenian Church has never been considered in context with the Western one. Such a fresh approach in combination with the usage of modern methodology and a wide range of sources, as well as the guidance of an experienced Supervisor will enable the Fellow to provide an original and fresh view on the early medieval history of the countries.
To achieve the desired results The Fellow will work in different libraries in Ireland and Armenia to have access to a wide range of sources and references. Consultation-meetings with the supervisors from the Host and Secondment, and other professional trainings, including Latin courses will be undertaken. Apart from professional skills, the Fellow will gain and improve a number of transferable skills by undertaking the trainings organized by UCC. Hence the contribution to the Researcher’s knowledge and career development, creation of wide scientific ties, publications in the relevant peer-reviewed will assist the Researcher in achieving professional maturity and increase her employability.
