Deacon Berdaktsi was a 16th century Armenian verse singer. [1] [2] [3]
Biographical data is missing. He was a clergyman [a], apparently. Deacon was named Berdaktsi after the village of Berdak, where he was born. [b] He is known for his unique poem "Praise to the grapes, the glass and the fun" ( Yerevan, Matenadaran the name of Mesrop Mashtots handwrite N3081). The poem is dedicated to wine, [4] where the drink is presented as a divine gift, useful for everyone (from kings to the poor and disabled). Deacon inspires life in him with a tried and subtle description of the grape. Sarkavag supports his judgments with religious arguments. For him, wine as a holy symbol and wine as a drink are equivalent, if the first one nourishes the soul, then the second one - the mind. [1] "Praise to the grapes, the glass and the fun" poem was published already in 1892, [5] and was translated into French in 1906. [6] Sometimes Berdaktsi's pen is also attributed to the song "I saw the queen".
