- Summary:
- "The Life of Mashtots' (d. 440 CE) is mostly praise for the inventor of the Armenian alphabet--the only inventor of an ancient alphabet known by name--and progenitor of Armenian literacy that began with the translation of the Bible. Written three years after his death by an early disciple named Koriwn, it narrates the master's endeavors in search for letters, the establishment of schools, and the ensuing literary activity that yielded countless translations of religious texts known in the early church. The Life exhibits all the literary features of the genre to which it belongs, delineated through rhetorical analysis by Terian, who comments on the entire document almost phrase by phrase" --Book jacket.
