Record summary
Agathangelos is associated with a late antique Armenian account of the conversion of Armenia, while later Armenian historical traditions situate biblical ancestry, Ararat and Noah’s descendants within Armenian sacred geography. This lead is relevant for studying how flood memory, mountain identity and Christian national history were joined in Armenian narrative culture. The title has a complicated textual history, and material attributed to Agathangelos should not automatically be treated as a fourth-century eyewitness account. Researchers should compare editions and related Armenian historians.
