Paul Mirabile studied at the French University of Vincennes-Paris VIII, majoring in mediaeval philology, literature and History, defending his doctoral thesis on the Genèse de la Chanson de Roland: la théorie de l'entonnoir. He has worked and travelled for the past 35 years in Europe, Turkey, South India, China and Russia teaching at universities or in high schools, studying the languages, History and mediaeval literature of those countries. His interest in Turkic and Armenian relationships has developed out of the readings of Dede Korkut Kitabı and David of Sassoun and from observations of the present day political circumstances between Turks and Armenians, between Turkey and Armenia.
