Գիրք վաստակոց [Book of Labors]/Geoponica (Venice, 1877). Translated from Arabic to Armenian in the 13th century. This unusual and undervalued work was prepared for the mid-10th-century Byzantine emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus. Geoponica/Geoponika is a compilation on agricultural topics based on the writings of earlier authors, some extending back to Roman and Hellenistic times. In addition to discussions of gardening, there are entries on medicinal wines, thunder divination (brontoscopy), and other remarkable topics. The work became widely known in the Aegean and Middle East during the 10-13th centuries through translations of the Greek original into Syriac, Pahlavi, Arabic, and Armenian. Internet Archive has an English translation and other works about this wonderful compilation: Geoponika). Book digitized by Google and uploaded by Robert Bedrosian.
