Vardan Aygektsi
Vardan Aygektsi or Vardan of Aygek ( hy, Վարդան Այգեկցի, died 1250) was an Armenian monk. Among his works is ''his Fables and a Geography'', both of which have been mistakenly attributed by some to Vardan Areveltsi. Aygektsi was born in Ma'arrata, a village near Afrin. Vardan lived for a time in Tluk in Cilician Armenia. He was educated in the Monastery of Arkakaghin and received the title of vardapet. In 1198, he took part in the coronation ceremony of King Levon II. From 1210, he was at the monastery of Aygek on the Amanus Mountains.

In 1668, an extensive collection of Aygektsi's fables, under the title ''Aghvesagirq'' (''Book of the Fox'') was published in Amsterdam. The naming of the collection was based on the fact that the key character in most of the fables was a fox. Modern ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes.

The Mongol Empire was founded by Genghis Khan, which stretched from Eastern Asia to Eastern Europe. The conquests of Hulagu Khan and other Mongol invasions changed the course of the Muslim world, most notably the Siege of Baghdad (1258), the destruction of the House of Wisdom and the weakening of the Mamluks and Rums which, according to historians, caused the decline of the Islamic Golden Age. Other Muslim powers such as the Mali Empire and Delhi Sultanate conquered large parts of West Africa and the Indian subcontinent, while Buddhism witnessed a decline through the conquest led by Bakhtiyar Khilji. The Southern Song dynasty would begin the century as a prosperous kingdom but would eventually be invaded and annexed into the Yuan dynasty of the Mongols.
