Reviews for Armenia Christiana - Armenian Religious Identity and the Churches of Constantinople and Rome (4th - 15th Century)
Stopka has managed... to access nearly all the ancient and medieval Armenian resources available and hitherto not fully accessible correspondence between the Holy See and the Armenian Church for this period. Importantly, he has managed to interpret this information objectively, steering clear of ideological preconception.
