«Խոստովանութիւն Անտիոքայ» գրվածքի հեղինակի հարցի շուրջ

Abstract

The article provides a striking instance about the vernacular text Confession of the Antiochene Council which has come down to our days through
different collections (Book of Letters (Epistles), Seal of Faith, Armenian Canon Book, Homily, Misselenies) ascribed to different authors. The study of the original work in the above-mentioned collections divulges that it was initially composed of two parts: epistles recorded apparently in the Book of Letters which, in its turn, has come to be the providing source of dissemination for other manuscripts. The source study gives an insight on the kinds of issues that concerns Abdisho
bishop of orthodox Assyrians who appeared to be the author of the mentioned work and played a significant role in the relationships of Armenian and Assyrian Churches and enjoyed a good reputation in the midst of the 6th century.
