Co-author of the article, Father Bagrat Farishyan, 1989-1993 years was the spiritual shepherd of the Gandzasar monastery, a masterpiece of Armenian medieval architecture in Artsakh. During this time, he copied almost all the inscriptions from the monastery complex into his diary. They contain about seven dozen lapidary inscriptions, which for various reasons were not included in the works of previous researchers. These relatively new inscriptions complement the rich epigraphic heritage of the Gandzasar monastery, while at least their published version preserves them from possible vandalistic destruction.
These inscriptions are important primary sources not only for the study of the famous Gandzasar monastery, the Artsakh princely family of Hasan-Jalalyans, but also for the history of Armenia.
