Hovhaness Yerzenkatsi

Hovhannes Erznkatsi (Armenian: Յովհաննէս Երզնկացի — John of Erznka or Erzinjan) (c. 1230– 1293) was an Armenian scholar and philosopher. He was nicknamed Blouz, probably because of his short stature. The little that has reached us of his voluminous works reveal an exceptionally gifted scholar, with treasured knowledge of vast scope. Living mostly in the latter part of the thirteenth century, he was also the last of the higher class of the Armenian authors of the ancient and medieval ages.
