Part of the Sophene Dual Language Series:
The Proverbs of Solomon, in Classical Armenian with a facing English translation by Lancelot Brenton.
The Proverbs of Solomon is a collection of moral and religious teachings attributed to King Solomon. This book belongs to the genre of so-called wisdom literature that flourished throughout the Ancient Near East. Unlike other books of the Old Testament, it does not address the history or future of the Israelites. Instead, it offers personal guidance on living a virtuous life under God’s direction.
According to the historians Koriun and Movses of Xoren (Khorenatsi), Proverbs was the first book of the Scriptures to be translated into Armenian with the Armenian script. This edition features the Classical Armenian text of Sts. Mashtots and Sahak alongside an updated edition of Lancelot Brenton’s Septuagint (LXX) translation.
