Łevond Vardapet P‘irłalēmean’s Pastoral and Scholarly Activities in Manchester (1873-1878) and the Armenian Community
Abstract
This article presents an episode from the history of the Armenian community in Manchester during the pastorate of Łevond Vardapet P‘irłalēmean (1873‑8) – a prominent philologist, poet, traveller, and church figure from Vaspurakan. Some intra-community issues, cultural and social activities of the Manchester Armenians, and their attitudes towards Łevond Vardapet, as reflected in the periodicals of the time, are discussed. Based on P‘irłalēmean’s notes and colophons, this essay also presents his works composed or arranged in Manchester (Dictionary of Provincial Words, Collection of Seals, Chronology, and the volumes of Armenian Colophons).
