The Armenian History attributed to Sebeos is one of the major works
of early Armenian historiography. It traces the fortunes of Armenia
in the sixth and seventh centuries within the broader context of
the time, including the reign of Khosrov II (589-628) and the early
Muslim expansion.
This is the first English translation of the modern critical
edition of the Armenian text. The historical commentary compares
Sebeos's account with other available sources and highlights the
particular value of this Armenian witness to the momentous events
of his time.
This book will appeal to all those interested in Armenia, the
Caucasus, the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Middle East in late
antiquity. It will be of particular value to Islamicists, since
Sebeos not only sets the scene for the coming of Islam but also
provides the only substantial non-Muslim account of the initial
period of expansion. The notes are specifically aimed at the reader
unfamiliar with Armenian; with the maps and appendices they will
guide the nonspecialist through the complexities of Armenian
society and the intricacies of family politics.
