Translation and transmission in the Armenian New Testament

Robin Meyer · 2023

Catalogue summary

Corpus comparison identifies an anomalous rendering in Luke 3:23: the Armenian New Testament turns a Greek singular participle into a plural genitive relative pronoun and attributes it to translation error.

Why this matters

The case offers unusually precise evidence for how early Armenian translators handled Greek grammar and where transmission could reshape scriptural wording.
