The first modern, annotated translation of the Christian chronicles of Georgia, adapted by the Armenians in the thirteenth century. An important source for writers on Armenia after 1200, the chronicles deal with the history of Georgia from its mythical origins to the time of their composition - and are of particular interest to the historian for the way that they were then altered in a pro-Armenian manner.

A. E. Redgate, History Professor Thomson has rendered western medievalists a signal service with this addition to his authoritative translations-cum-commentaries of medieval Armenian historiographical texts.

Antony Eastmond, Bryn Mawr Classical Review This is an excellent book, which I highly recommend ... this is the most fundamental work published to date ... This is the most precise translation available in any Western European language and as such will become the authoritative edition to which historians will refer ... In his introduction Thomson also provides a concise overview of both Georgian and Armenian history as well as their respective chronicle traditions. This acts as an admirably clear introduction to the history and culture of the Caucasus, which will aid all those unfamiliar with the region. Such a brief but up-to-date outline is not available elsewhere at the moment, which makes the work even more valuable.
