Presentation

The Trap of Pride, a work by Hakob Chahamirian, is one of the 18th-century constitutional projects oriented towards the search for a rational basis for politics and the formation of a state of law. The present study provides access to the Pride Trap in two ways. Firstly, by offering the first French translation of a text hitherto only available in Armenian and, in part, Russian. By providing, moreover, means of interpreting The Trap, a text often enigmatic without knowledge of the culture underlying a prose that rarely cites its sources.
