Description
Reviews
Perhaps the most extensive contemporary account of the seventh century, The Armenian History Attributed to Sebeos is without peer in its chronological coverage and its author's remarkably broad geographical interests. [...] This work should become essential reading for both specialists and non-specialists with an interest in the period. Comitatus
These volumes set a modern standard for translations into English of medieval Armenian historical texts. [...] One can only hope that the Thompson and Howard-Johnston team will collaborate again on translation and commentary, and that other teams will employ the same thoroughness and clarity when providing modern translations of medieval historical texts from any language tradition. Speculum
The authors show throughout an admirable awareness of the most recent literature on a wide range of themes upon which the commentary and translation touch, making the two volumes essential reading for anyone working in the period. This is an outstanding addition to an excellent series. Ecclesiastical History
