Corène Calfa (b. 1835)

Calfa, Corène. An Armenian poet and prose-writer, brother of Ambroise; born in Constantinople in 1835. His poems and songs are immensely popular with his countrymen; his translation of Lamartine’s ‘Poetic Harmonies’ is adequate and spirited; besides which should be mentioned a ‘History of Armenia,’ well-written and authoritative.
