What it is
An eyewitness account of Timur's campaigns through Armenia, the massacres and deportations, and the survival of the church under successive conquerors.
Why it lasted
A primary source for the devastation of Armenia, and for the restoration of the catholicosate to Echmiadzin in 1441.
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.
