Ghevond Alishan’s scientific-literary heritage includes his scientific publications of Armenian medieval manuscripts, historical-geographical and historical studies, literary-religious translations, fiction and poems. Alishan originally planned to present all the regions of Historical Armenia in separate volumes, but managed to publish just four of them: “Shirak” (1881), “Sisvan” (1885) dedicated to Cilicia, “Ayrarat” (1890) and dedicated to Syunik “Sisakan” (1893). Although these are historical-geographical works, they are however written in the artistic style peculiar to Alishan. He paid special importance to writing about the historical and heroic events related to the places of those geographical areas.
