| Abstract | Latin, Greek, and Armenian christianity were well aware of their peculiarities by the 13th century. It was also as a consequence of this that they engaged in a religious (and sometimes political) debate, the details of which are not always clear. Armenian Cilicia had developed strong ties with both the Byzantine Empire and the Crusader states, and had therefore a pivotal role also in promoting the religious debate. A joint research on some still understudied documents linked with Armenia may shed new light on the complex but fascinating issues of different Christianities in the Eastern Mediterranean. |
