Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin new publications

With the blessings of His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, Publishing Department of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin published Hovhannes Tsortsoretsi’s work “Commentary on the Gospel according to St. Matthew.”

This commentary on the Gospel according to St. Matthew was written by Archimandrite Hovhannes Tsortsoretsi in 1316 as a continuation of Nerses Shnorhali’s “Commentary on the Gospel according to St. Matthew” that was interrupted suddenly on number E 17. Perhaps this is the largest and most detailed commentary created in the Middle Ages in Armenia, done on the basis of All-Christian commentaries and those of Armenian Fathers. Seda Stamboltsyan translated the three volume work from Old Armenian and wrote the footnotes.

The Publishing Department also published St. Yeprem Asori’s “Selected Speeches.” The translation from Old Armenian was done by Marta Arabyan.

According to Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin Information Services, the works were published under the aegis of Sargis Gabrielyan foundation.
