University of Gladzor ( Armenian: Գլաձորի համալսարան, romanizedGladzori hamalsaran) was a medieval Armenian university, one of the two "great centres of learning" along with the University of Tatev ( c. 1340–1425) that were "essentially of a single tradition." [1] [2] It was established around 1280 by Nerses of Mush, [2] a student of Vardan Areveltsi, and operated until 1340 and "left behind a rich intellectual heritage". [3]

The university grew out of the monastic center of learning of the Aghberts or Gladzor Monastery in the region of Vayots Dzor. [4] It flourished under the patronage of the Orbelian and Proshian noble families. [4] [5] Gladzor had at least nine professors and around fifteen lecturers. [5] The university's longtime head was Esayi of Nich (Nchetsi), who led the university until 1331. [4] He was succeeded by the head teacher Tiratur. [4] The noted miniature painters Toros Taronatsi, Avag and Momik taught and painted at Gladzor. [4]

Gladzor had its own bylaws and granted academic degrees. Its three main courses were as follows: 1. Armenian and foreign texts, 2. the art of manuscript writing, and 3. Armenian musical notation (khaz) and music. [4] Among the subjects taught at the university were theology, mythology, philosophy, bibliology, grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, astronomy, chronology, and geometry. [4] Around 350 students graduated from Gladzor University. [4] The length of matriculation was seven to eight years, not counting the three years of religious education required to be admitted to the university. [4] Graduates received the rank of vardapet. [4] Although it was referred to as a university and sometimes analogized to contemporary European universities, scholar S. Peter Cowe suggests that Gladzor and other medieval Armenian academies were more comparable to monastic schools. [6]
