Abstract
The Chronology of Samuel Anetsi is one of the most famous works of 12th century Armenian literature. It starts with the story of Adam and reaches the year 1163. Notwithstanding its broad time period, the book is written in a condensed manner.
Currently, there are 70 partial or complete copies of the Chronology. It was translated into Latin in 1818, into French in 1876, and had a single Armenian scientific publication in 1893.
One of the basic and unique characteristics of the Chronology is that it is written in chronological tables, had many additions and completions, and was continued by other authors who extended it up to the 18th century.
Recent extensive research on the diverse copies of the Chronology has ascertained several aspects of Anetsi’s biography. By discerning the oldest miniatures, researchers have established a clearer picture of the original Chronology. Besides, this has enabled them to separate the original work from later interferences and additions.
The article is a presentation of the latest research results, which shed further light on the biography, the content of the original Chronology, the characteristics of the original text, the copies and the additions, etc. These findings will enable the Matenadaran Institute to publish the comparative text of Samuel Anetsi’s Chronology. For such project project the oldest four copies and the 1893 published versions of the Chronology will be extensively used.
As for additions and interferences in the Chronology, which would ample historical material, these will be compiled in a separate book that will include various materials garnered from the diverse manuscripts and published copies of the Chronology and the minor chronologies that have been written by authors who made additions to Anetsi’s Chronology.
