Zenob Glak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zenob Glak was a 4th century Syrian who became the first abbot of the Glak monastery in the Taron region of Greater Armenia. He began the chronology that would become the History of Taron of John Mamikonean (10th century, the 35th abbot after Zenob). (ed. Langlois, Venice 1832).

Zenob's History is a somewhat legendary account of Gregory the Illuminator, and may have been written in Syriac in the 5th, though it was only Armenized in a later century.
