The Genesis Commentary by Stepanos of Siwnik (DUB.): Edition, Translation and Comments (Corpus Scriptorum Christianorum Orientalium, Vol. 695 / ... Tomus 32) (English and Armenian Edition)

The Book contains the two extant passages of an early Armenian Commentary on Genesis. The first fragment has been known for some years; the second is newly identified and published for the first time here. The Armenian text and English translation are supplemented with commentary and notes. The text has been attributed to Step'anos of Siwnik' (8th century). The Book Is The Edition, Publication And Annotation Of Two Substantial Passages Of A 'commentary On Genesis' That Has Been Ascribed To The Eighth-century Armenian Theological And Commentator, Bishop Step'anos Of Siwnik. One Passage Has Been Previously Published But Never Translated Into English, The Second Passage Is Newly-discovered And For It The Book Is The 'editio Princeps'. Even If The Ascription To Step'anos Is Not Authentic, The Work Is An Early One, And An Eighth-century Date Is Not Implausible.
