Die Armenierviertel in den Städten der Ukraine (14. – 18. Jahrhundert)

Armenian quarters in Ukrainian towns, spanning from the 14th to 18th centuries, were not as large or architecturally distinct as those in Crimea, and their development was influenced by population stability, legal autonomy, and social communities. These quarters, existing in over 20 towns, gradually lost their Armenian identity due to assimilation, particularly during the Polish counterreformation, when Armenians faced discrimination leading to architectural integration with prevailing Ukrainian-Polish styles. The study critiques existing research for inadequate evaluation of cartographical, textual, and archaeological sources, advocating for a more rigorous methodological approach to avoid misinterpretations. It highlights four 17th-century archival sources from Lviv illustrating real estate ownership, emphasizing the need for deeper analysis of iconographic and textual materials.
