Abstract:
The paper will be focused on Armenian Diaspora chronicles dating from 16th and 17th century and originating from the territory of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita). The discourse analysis will be dealing especially with chronicles and colophons from Lviv (Simeon Lehatsi), chronicles from Kamianets Podilskyi (Oksent and John Kamenatsi) and Kaffa (Khatchatur Ghrimetsi) etc. Above mentioned sources could provide a scope for understanding the turbulent period of Thirty Years’ War, Ottoman campaigns against Rzeczpospolita as well as later Swedish interventions in Central-European regions, known as “Second Nothern Wars”. Together with “minor” chronicles written by Simeon Lehatsi/Simeon of Poland (from Zamość and Lviv perspective), war memories of Armenian priests from Kamianets or Crimean Kaffa unfold the complicated story of this specific area and contribute further to the emergence of symbolic space of Armenian Diaspora. Moreover, these chronicles correspond to so-called Great Flight period (perceived within the frame of Ottoman history) and the period of “Little Ice Age” in Eurasian perspective, highlighting the permeability of borders (or the importance of threshold), including some interesting ethnographical aspects and revealing certain codified loci communes.
