Abstract
This article is devoted to Armenians advocating Chalcedonian creed, contrary to their kinsmen. A very minute picture of the geographical distribution of these communities, varying through time and political or military troubles, is drawn as an introduction. Then the author provides two very well-documented examples–notably an extremely rare instance given the incomplete nature of such sources–of conversion by Armenian groups to the Chalcedonian creed, before examining the related cultural and artistic aspects. Lastly, a study if done of the attitude of the still ‘Gregorian’ Armenians toward the Chalcedonian Armenians, wavering between tolerance and persecution.
