DESCRIPTION:Date: 17 June 2026 \nTime: 16:30-18:00\nVenue: Eccles Room\, P
 embroke College\n\nDr. Andy Hilkens argues that Armenians only began to de
 velop an interest in this early Christian martyr and supposed writer of ca
 nonical material from the late tenth century onwards. In the early 990s an
  Armenian Chalcedonian called Yovsep‘ produced the earliest version of t
 he Armenian Tawnac‘uyc‘ (Synaxarion) in Constantinople\, relying on a 
 now lost recension of the Greek Synaxarion. While this Armenian Synaxarion
  was intended first and foremost for Armenian Chalcedonians in the newly a
 cquired territories in the East\, the transmission of the synaxarion entry
  in Armenian hagiographical manuscripts of the late twelfth century and th
 irteenth centuries\, the production of recensions of the Synaxarion by pro
 -Chalcedonians in the mid-thirteenth century\, as well as developments in 
 the Armenian Lectionary seem to suggest that by the turn of the thirteenth
  century Clement had established himself as a central figure in Armenian c
 ulture throughout “the Armenian world.”\n\nOn the speaker: Dr. Andy Hi
 lkens is a religious and cultural historian of Late Antiquity and the Midd
 le Ages who operates at the intersection of Syriac\, Armenian\, Coptic and
  Byzantine studies. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the FWF-S
 TART project Generative Authority: The Followers of the Apostles as Litera
 ry Characters (PI: Dan Batovici) in the Faculty of Protestant Theology at 
 the University of Vienna and teaches Coptic at the Institute of Egyptology
 . His research interests include Syriac and Armenian hagiography\, the Syr
 iac historiographical tradition and its ties to Greek\, Armenian and Arabi
 c historiography\, Syriac-Armenian studies (in particular Syriac-Armenian 
 dialogue and debate\, Syriac-Armenian bilingualism\, and the production of
  translations)\, and the global reception of Ephrem of Nisibis\, Ephrem Gr
 aecus and Jacob of Serugh.
