This 5th century work, likely composed by the Armenian saint, Mesrop Mashtots, illustrates the family dynamic and political conflict that surrounds both St. Gregory the Illuminator, and Nerses I the Great, both Catholicos of Armenia. The historicity of this text is obscured, as it appears to be a function of the 5th century, with larger later additions coming from the medieval period. It does offer some insight into the early Armenian church and the weave of familial ties that supported it in its earliest centuries.
