Performing translations of poems that are over a hundred years old can be very difficult when one considers the rate at which a language naturally evolves. Certain words can simply die out over time. Fortunately, I have come across an excellent turn-of-the-century Armenian-English dictionary. It was put together by Father Matthias Bedrossian in 1879. Since no copyright exists, I’ve attached a link to this excellent dictionary below.
