What it is

A history of Armenia between the Persian and Roman empires, ending with the Arab conquests and an early outside account of the preaching of Muhammad.

Why it lasted

One of the earliest datable references to Islam by a non-Muslim writer, and the principal Armenian source for the seventh century.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
