| Summary: | The chief sources for pilgrimage of Armenians of the Holy Land down to the seventh century except for Epiph. Haer 40, 291am, 292a-b which is dealt with elsewhere) include: The Book of Letters (? 4th century), Cyril of Scythopolis' Life of St. Euthymius (soon after 428), Sebeos' History of Heraclius (soon after 615), Movses Dasxuranc'i's History of the Caucasian Albanians (events of the late 630's). Pseudo-Ełišē, On the Ttansfiguration (6th to 8th centuries), Anastatius of Sinai, The Holy Fathers of Sinai (event of about 630), and the pilgrim graffiti from the Sinai (sixth to 13th centuries). The chief points stressed in the conclusion include: (a) the extraordinary role of the Armenians in pilgrimage and the relationship between pilgrimage and monasticism (b) the tendency of the Armenians to travel in groups; (c) the quite marked increase in Armenian pilgrimage (or of the evidence for it) in the early seventh century. Examen des sources principales sur les pèlerinages arméniens en Terre Sainte (sauf Epiph. Haer 40. 291-292, traité ailleurs). Elles comprennent : Le Livre des Lettres (IVe s. ?), Cyrille de Scythopolis, Vie de St. Euthyme. (peu après 428) ; Sebeos, Histoire d'Héraclius (peu après 615) ; Movses Dasxuranc'i, Histoire des Caucasiens d'Arvan (peu après 630) ; Pseudo-Ełišē, Sur la Transfiguration (VIe-VIIIe s.); Anastase du Sinaï, Les Saints Pères du Sinaï (vers 630) ; les graffiti des pèlerins du Sinaï (VIe au XIIIe s.). On peut en tirer de nouvelles conclusions concernant : 1) le rôle exceptionnel des Arméniens comme pèlerins et le lien entre pèlerinage et monachisme ; 2) la tendance des Arméniens à voyager en groupe ; 3) l'accroissement très marqué des pèlerins arméniens (il y a des indices en ce sens) du début du VIIe siècle. |
