Mekhitar of Ayrivank
Mekhitar of Ayrivank (Armenian: Մխիթար Այրիվանեցի Mxitʿar Ayrivanecʿi) (1230/35 – 1297/1300) was an Armenian monk, or vardapet, at the "Cave-Monastery",[1] modern Geghard. He is best known for his list of history of the world. He preserves in his writings a list of canonical and non-canonical books by John the Deacon (1044–1129).[2][3] His canon also includes works such as the Third Epistle to the Corinthians.[4]
Some of his sacred music can be found on collections of Armenian sacred music, such as Joyous light Isabel Bayrakdarian, CBC.
