Moses Khorenatsi

Moses of Khorene(Moses of Khoren) (approx.410-490), Armenian scholar, Father of the Armenian Historiography. His influential Armenian History covers the vast period from the origins of the Armenian nation to the 5-th century, providing extensive information on ancient Armenian mythology and pagan traditions. However, this work, that affected generations of Armenian writers, became a controversial subject with a number of modern researchers, who believed that Moses of Khorene may have lived in the 7th and even in the 9th century.
