Gospel of Etchmiadzin. Canon of Concordance. c. AD 989. The early Medieval Armenian manuscripts frequently reproduce the theme of the Temple. It is a construction of arches, with columns. The roof is usually surmounted by a cross, symbolising the true purpose of the temple a funerary monument to Christ. The temple columns in the Gospel of Etchmiadzin are distinguished by marble columns with ornate capitals and birds.

I n the following pages I have given my reasons for attempting to write this history of Armenia. The few lines here were written after completion of the whole work. They are specifically intended to point out that in the Armenian as distinct from the Urartian section I have endeavoured to break away from the traditional view of Armenian subservience to its powerful neighbours for most of its long history. I hope I have shown that, contrary to such a negative view of its national history, Armenia enjoyed many centuries of independence and power. Lost or non-existent records chronicling the Armenian point of view mean that the period has been recounted and documented by its enemies. Those biased records have been passed down and accepted by most European and even by Armenian writers. Some research and the will to organise the facts out of intricate evidence, has I hope proved A.J.P. Taylors comment, that history is not a catalogue but a version of events.
