Sermon of Bishop Zenobius on the 44th Psalm / An Edition of the Old Armenian Text and a Russian Translation

Abstract

The article is devoted to an ancient Armenian homily on the 44th Psalm; it has come down to us under the name of Bishop Zenobius in a number of ancient manuscripts, the list of which is given in the preface. The question about two forms of the text, about the authorship of the homily and its possible connection with the corpus of works of St. Meletius of Antioch is also discussed; the question about the nature of the biblical text used in the ancient sermon is raised.
