The Catholicosate of Cilicia and the Department of Armenian Affairs of the

His Holiness Aram I and the Director of the Department of Armenian Affairs
of the Gulbenkian Foundation, Dr. Zaven Yegavian.

Vanahayr Yerashkhavor, Ishkhanian Hamazasb, Sahag Ardzrouni, Yeznig
Goghpatsi, Movses Khorenatsi, Yeghishe, Tavit Anhaght and Yeznig Yerets. The
7th volume, which is 920 pages long, consists of the works of Hovhan
Otsnetsi and Movses Kertogh. The 8th volume, 670 pages long, includes all
