Prolegomena to a critical edition of the Chronicle of Matthew of Edessa, with a discussion of computer-aided methods used to edit the text

Tara Lee Andrews · 2009

Catalogue summary

The dissertation develops a computationally assisted critical edition of Matthew of Edessa's Armenian Chronicle, studies its manuscript transmission and prophetic frame, and dates composition before 1137 through the author's treatment of Byzantines, Armenians, Saljuqs, and Latins.

Why this matters

It joins Armenian medieval historiography with reproducible textual editing and clarifies how clerical prophecy organized interpretations of political loss.
