Classical Armenian Bible (The Zohrab Bible)
Bibles.org.uk in collaboration with the Bible Society of Armenia published the critical edition of the Classical Armenian Bible (aka "The Zohrab Bible"). It is available as of now at website: http://www.bibles.org.uk
The edition is split into 3 volumes due to Lulu's 800-page limit per volume:
Vol I: Genesis - Nehemiah (773 pages)
Vol II: Esther - Ezekiel (799 pages)
Vol III: New Testament and Additions (538 pages)
This is the ancient Armenian text of 5th century translated out of the Greek
(Septuagint) and Syriac (Peshitta) sources and should not be confused with the modern Armenian translations based on the MT.
The base text and the apparatus (of over 30,000 readings) is based on the work of Dr H Zohrabian (western spelling "Zohrapean") published by the Mechitarist Congregation of St Lazarus in 1805 in Venice. This is why it is commonly known as "The Zohrab Bible". It is the only critical edition of this ancient text and so it is cited by the scholarly editions such as BHS, NA27, Cambridge LXX and others whenever they refer to the "arm" witness.
All 82 books are included in exactly the same order as in the original 1805
edition.
