Smbat Sparapet's Chronicle: Volume 1

Smbat Sparapets Chronicle is a major source for the history of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia. Roughly three-quarters of the work consists of a summary of Matthew of Edessas Chronicle which describes the period from 951 to 1136 and its continuation by Gregory the Priest covering the period from 1136-1162. Given that Matthews wrk has survived by far the most important part of Smbat Sparapets Chronicle is its original contribution devoted to the period from 1163 to 1272. Volume I covers the period from 1136 to 1150.This edition was translated into English by Robert Bedrosian.
