`Professor Thomson has rendered western medievalists a signal
service with this addition to his authoritative
translations-cum-commentaries of medieval Armenian
historiographical texts.'
A. E. Redgate, History
`This is an excellent book, which I highly recommend ... this is
the most fundamental work published to date ... This is the most
precise translation available in any Western European language and
as such will become the authoritative edition to which historians
will refer ... In his introduction Thomson also provides a concise
overview of both Georgian and Armenian history as well as their
respective chronicle traditions. This acts as an admirably
clear
introduction to the history and culture of the Caucasus, which will
aid all those unfamiliar with the region. Such a brief but
up-to-date outline is not available elsewhere at the moment, which
makes the
work even more valuable.'
Antony Eastmond, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
