Armenia History

The Year 1512 AD
Armenians first arrived in Italy in the sixth century as part of the Byzantine army. The Cilician Armenian kingdom established trade relationships with a number of Italian city states. After the fall of Cilician Armenia, many Armenians migrated to Italy, establishing communities and building churches. It was in the Armenian community of Venice that the first printing of books in Armenian occurred. In 1512, Hagop Meghapart printed a prayer book and a calendar. Before long, the printing of books in Armenian spread to many locales. From 1512 to 1800, more than one thousand books were printed in the Armenian language.
