Abstract

If the Armenian Church of Famagusta is rightly studied by Camille Enlart in his book, L’art gothique et la Renaissance en Chypre (published in 1899), it is hardly mentioned or described in the travelogues. Deservedly, its iconography, even if very small, is of highest interest, whether it is the drawing of Edmond Duthoit (1862) or the photographs of the late nineteenth century.
