Abstract
The history of education in Armenia is closely linked with that of the Armenian Apostolic Church. When Mesrop Mashtots introduced the Armenian alphabet in the early fifth century, he established a monastic network with a corresponding education system based on scriptoriums, where education was free and students of different age groups were taught. This infrastructure was transformed later into the medieval universities network under clerical authority.
