Abstract

Abstract

This article examines the Noah material found in the tenth-century Armenian historical work by Ukhtanēs. The traditions known to him are compared with those in the abundant, later Noah parabiblical works, and while he has some unique emphases, on the other hand, he is not familiar with material common in later parabiblical texts.
