Abstract
In classical Armenian historiography the twelfth century Armenian historiographer Samuel Anetsi, the vicar of the mother Church of Ani, was famous for his Chronogy, which covers Armenian history until 1163.
Karen Matevossian notes that in 1893, father Arshak Ter-Mikelian published the comprehensive text of this Chronology after making extensive additions to it, based on the 14 manuscript-copies and variants of the Chronology that were in his hands.
However, the author contests that Ter-Mikelian did not pay adequate attention to the oldest manuscript copy, which belonged to Hayrapet Vardapet, probably copied in the 13th century. Matevossian wonders whether Ter-Mikelian chose not to make use of that copy because the information it contained was more concise and different from the other manuscripts.
Matevossian focuses on the content of the said version and, after various textual comparisons with the one published by Ter-Mikelian, concludes that the version of Hayrapet Vardapet has important historical data that should not be overlooked.
