You could add Mari Sukiasyan (also known as Paris Pismis) who was an Armenian astronomer in Mexico, she gave great advances in Astronomy worldwide and also helped decipher some of the lost Mayan astronomy that was incomplete due to the Spanish conquest, there is even a star named after her :

(January 30, 1911 – August 1, 1999) was an astronomer of Armenian descent.

Pişmiş was born Mari Sukiasyan in Constantinople, Ottoman Empire. She worked in Mexico from 1940 until her death there in 1999. She was the first woman to graduate from the scientific faculty of Istanbul University.

Pişmiş studied among others the kinematics of galaxies, H II nebulae, the structure of open star clusters and planetary nebulae. She compiled the catalogue Pismis of 22 open clusters and 2 globular clusters in the southern hemisphere.[1].

The sheets 12-13 of the manuscript N#2724 which is in the Madenataran of Yerevan is a translation of some works of the French Astronom Jerome de Lalande.

I have prepared a file on him : where hes was born, where he lived, etc... so that to inform, to interest culturally and maybe to involve city councils, local high schools or libraries, etc. about armenian culture... (?)

I am listing the old French writers (XVIII-XIX centuries) who were translated into armenian for such future files :

Manuscript #1780 in the Madenataran is an 1611 translation of extracts of the "Cosmography" of the German Astronom Peter Apianus (1495-1552). With other historical informations on German protestant theologians, I have I created a new web page :

Hiatorical and Cultural Relations between Armenians and Germans during XVI century :
