What is Countries south of the Caucasus in medieval maps : Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan about?

The present volume is the result of Rouben Galichian's studies and research on medieval western and Islamic maps of the region south of the Caucasus. During the first decade of the twenty first century the European Union began implementing a program entitled "European Neighbourhood Policy". Through this program the EU has been trying to create a "Ring of Friends", who could be reliable and friendly neighbours at all times. This book is aiming to inform the western reader about the history and geography of three countries lying south of the Caucasus, which may soon become part of these neighbours. The book is a study of maps made during the years 350 to 1350, thus providing an important window looking into the geopolitics of this area. The maps depicted and discussed in the book come from the medieval western religious and non-religious sources, Islamic, as well as rare Syriac and Armenian medieval manuscripts. The originals of these maps are kept in various well-known libraries and museums and occupy important places in our cartographic heritage. The very existence of all these images collected and displayed in a single volume represents a rare and enjoyable sight
