The Life of Mashtots (Vark’ Mashtots’i) is the only known work by the Armenian writer Koriun about the creator of the Armenian Alphabet Mesrop Mashtots. The oldest fragments of the incomplete The Life manuscript are in the 643 pages dated 12th century and are kept in Paris's Bibliothèque nationale (Arm. 178) and were copied by the scribe Poghos, two shorter versions of The Life are dated the middle of the 14th century and are in the Matenadaran (M 3787 and M 3797) and one longer version of The Life is dated the late 17th century. All earlier writers called the inventor of the Armenian alphabet Mashtots' and the name Mesrop is not found in other authors until the 8th century.
