[edit] Comment

There must be an error in the dates here; according to this article Gregory was concecrated after having brought Christianity to Armenia at the tender age of 5...

It is indeed wrong. According to the 1911 EB, he was born circa 257, not 297

According to Bradt Guide to Armenia (2003), the king's name was Trdat which is probably the same as Tiritades. But the guide mentions Trdat I to be ruling around 50 AD, while Trdat IV should be the one "convinced" by the Gregory Illuminator. At http://www.armenianchurch.org he is called Gregory Enlightener. Is this the same?

Do illuminated manuscripts have anything to do with Gregory's epithet? Michael Hardy 23:45, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
