The Series begins with the Gospel of Matthew: a new recension of the Classical Armenian, collated against the main Greek editions, with critical apparatus.
Some notable readings, and how they align with Greek text-types and patristic witnesses.

The Series continues with the Gospel of Mark.
Again, considerable overlaps appear between the majority readings and the Koridethi, Bezae and Washingtonianus. Might these provide a clue as to the Vorlage used by the Translators?

Matthew of Edessa was one of the most influential historians of medieval Armenia (12th c.) His writings, particularly the Chronicle, offer a rich account of Armenian history & key source for historians studying 🇦🇲 medieval history & its interactions with neighboring civilizations
