This volume of the Identity Series contains the modern Armenian rendition of three manuscript versions of Koryun’s The Life of Mashtots, prepared by manuscript expert A. Matevosyan. The notes to the first and most complete version are by Manuk Abeghyan—revised and freed from the imprint of Soviet ideology. The Life of Mashtots by Koryun is the first original work written in the Armenian alphabet.

“In fact, the author of the book is a witness and observer to this whole story. The humble disciple boldly states: ‘We did not learn from old tales or compile through written sources, but we ourselves were eyewitnesses to their deeds.’ Thanks to this modest manuscript, we Armenians—and the entire world—have preserved the memory of a story so vital to our nation: the creation of the God-given Armenian alphabet and the biography of its author, the great son of the Armenian people.”

—Ter Vazgen Hovhannisyan, Pastor of the Saint Mesrop Mashtots Church in Oshakan
