Moses Khorenatsi
(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.
