Dr Tim Greenwood (University of St Andrews)

Three Late Antique Armenians Silver Crosses
Dr Tim Greenwood is University Lecturer at the School of History, University of St Andrews. His teaching interests
extend across mediaeval Byzantium and the Near East (6th–11th centuries) with particular interest in the Caucasus and Sasanian Persia. His research is centred upon Armenian political, social and cultural history across the same period, analysing and exploiting literary, epigraphic and architectural sources. He is currently finishing a translation and commentary of an Armenian eleventh-century composition, the Tiezerakan Patmut‘iwn or Universal History by Step‘anos Taronec'i. Future projects include a database of mediaeval Armenian inscriptions; a study of the History of Łewond; and a reappraisal of the Arab
conquest of Armenia.

Are all cordially invited
