Medieval and Early Modern Armenian Studies is a biannual (two issues per year), peer-reviewed academic journal published in English, French, German, and Italian by the ''Matenadaran'' Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts. It encourages interdisciplinary research on medieval and early modern history and culture, with a particular emphasis on Armenian Studies.

A conflict over the inheritance of the throne of Antioch, in which a number of Eastern Mediterranean countries were involved, started in 1201 and lasted until 1216. The two main opponents were Bohemond IV, Count of Tripoli, and Levon I, King of Cilician Armenia, who was trying to place his nephew, Raymond- Ruben, on the throne of Antioch. Bohemond IV had powerful allies in this struggle: the Seljuk Sultanate of Iconium and the Ayyubid Principality of Aleppo. Meanwhile, King Levon tried to get the support of the Pope, which, however, was clearly not enough in 1208 to tackle with a hostile siege. Therefore, the Armenian king took a bold step by sending a message to al-Malik al-`Adil, the sultan of Egypt (1200–1218) and the senior member of the Ayyubid dynasty. According to the valuable information provided by two historians (Anonymous of Edessa and Kamal al-Din Ibn al-`Adim), in 605 AH (1208–1209), in response to the request of King Levon, al- Malik al-`Adil sent letters to Kay Khosrow, the Seljuk sultan of Iconium, and al-Malik al-Zahir, the Ayyubid ruler of Aleppo, persuading (or forcing) them to make peace with the Armenian side.
