Revision as of 03:35, 10 June 2006 by Eupator (talk | contribs) (rm unscourced nonsense)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Koryun, the earliest Armenian-language historian, writing in the fifth century, has left a Life of Mesrop which contains many details of the evangelization of Armenia and the invention of the alphabet. Having received his early education under Mesrop, 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.
