war headed by Sahak Bagratuni who ordered MovsesKhorenatsi to write the history of Armenia and then by Vahan ...The History of Armenia lang hy , Hayots Patmut yun attributed to Moses Khorenatsi is an early account of Kingdom of Armenia antiquity Armenia , covering the mythological origins of the Armenian people as well as Armenia s interaction with Sassanid , Byzantine and Arsacid Dynasty of Armenia Arsacid empires down to the 5th century. It contains unique material on ancient Armenian legends, and such information on pagan pre Christian Armenian as has survived. It also contains plentiful data on the history and culture of contiguous countries. The book had an enormous impact on Armenian historiography. In the text, the author self identifies as a disciple of Mesrop Mashtots Saint Mesrop , and states that he composed his work at the request of Isaac Sahak , the Bagratuni prince who fell in battle in 482 . Authorship Main Moses Khorenatsi Gibbon in his History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire ch. 32 still accepted the 5th century date of Moses, on grounds that deficient as he is in every qualification of a good historian, his local information, his passions and his prejudices, are strongly expressive of a native and contemporary , but Gutschmid 1876 showed the secondary nature of much of Moses material, and current scholarship is doubtful of Moses authorship of the work. According to Robert Thomson, there are indications that the book itself was written after the 5th century. Not only does Movses use sources not available in Armenia at that time, he refers to persons and places attested only in the sixth or seventh centuries. ref Robert K. Thomson, Armenian ... 474 491 .
