  • Descrição: Sebeos, traditionally identified as the compiler of a mid‐seventh‐century Armenian historical composition which offers a contemporary perspective on Sasanian, Byzantine and early Islamic affairs, and interactions between 572 and 661 ce .
    Sebeos of Armenia (ca. 600–post 661 CE ) is usually credited as the author of an Armenian text that offers a wide‐ranging overview of Near Eastern history between 572 and 661. In fact the longstanding identification is unproven. Nevertheless, to avoid potential confusion, the text retains this attribution. Given the biblical imagery employed in the text, and its apocalyptic expectations, it is highly likely that the author was a cleric. We do know of one Sebeos, bishop of the Bagratunik', who was active towards the middle of the seventh century, but the text increasingly focuses attention upon the rival Mamikonean princely family, describing Hamazasp Mamikonean, the leading Armenian figure in the 650s, as “a lover of reading and learning.” This short eulogy, at the very end of the composition, suggests that Hamazasp may have been the author's sponsor or benefactor. It is possible that the author was none other than the anonymous bishop who defied the emperor Constans II when he visited Dvin in 653. It is otherwise hard to explain why the text contains a vivid, apparently first‐hand account of a private audience between them.
