Koryun (Armenian: Կորյուն or Կորիւն, also transliterated as Koriun, Goriun or Gorune) was the earliest Armenian-language historian, writing in the fifth century, has left a Life of Mesrob which contains many details of the evangelization of Armenia and the invention of the alphabet. Some Armenian and European scholars, such as G.Alishan, O.Torosyan, G.Fintigliyan, A.Sarukhan, G.Ter-Mkrtchyan (Miaban), S.Weber and others, have speculated that Koryun could have been an ethnic Georgian (Iberian) or Georgian-Armenian. Having received his early education under Mesrob Mashtots, Koryun went to Byzantium for higher studies, returning to Armenia with other students in 432. Later, he was appointed Bishop of Georgia. He has been listed among the junior translators. His style is original, but somewhat obscure due to grammatical irregularities. To him have been attributed the translations of the three apocryphal books of the Maccabees. Koryun was the origin of the claim that the Georgian alphabet was created by Mesrob Mashtots.
