In 1846, “Bazmavep” published a poem without any reference to its au­thor and translator. Our research has shown that the passage was retrieved from “Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage” translated by Ge­vond Alishan. 

In its further issues, “Bazmavep” occasionally addressed Byron’s work and published Armenian poets’ dithyrambs dedicated to Byron, who had studied the Armenian language and culture. In their works Armenian poets (Pechikian, Tor­gomian, Srapian and Atmadjian) praised his restless soul and freedom-loving spirit. 

The Armenian readers first learned about Byron’s biography and work through a paper, which was published in “Bazmavep” in 1846. The paper pro­vides several excerpts from the poet’s letters concerning Armenians and reflects Byron’s collaboration with the Mekhitarists. Both Armenian and foreign (La­mar­­tine, Gammell, Anderson, Dakin, etc.) authors addressed Byron’s work on the pages of “Bazmavep”. Some of these essays were published both in Ar­me­nian and English.
