YOVHANNES V, Catholicos. Patmut'iwn Yovhannoy Kat'olikosi. 464 pages. Small 8vo, contemporary 1/4 cloth, light discoloration on spine; scattered minor foxing. Jerusalem: Press of the Apostolic Holy See of St. James, 1867
Third edition of the history of Armenia composed in the early 10th-century by Catholicos Yovhannes Draskhanakertts'i (John of Draskhanakert); the first edition was published in 1843. Though beginning with the origins of Armenian history the text primarily concerns events in the author's lifetime. "As Catholicos of Armenia, John naturally played a prominent role in the politics of his time. His History is thus unique as a personal document, for no other Armenian historian was so involved in national and international affairs"--Hovannisian I, 228.
