Today is Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi`s birthday.

Movses Khorenatsi (Khorenatzi) (Armenian: Մովսես Խորենացի) was an Armenian historian who lived in Armenia during the 5th century AD.
He was an author of the one of the earliest known historiographical works on the history of Armenia. He wrote the book "The History of Armenia" at the behest of Prince Sahak Bagratuni. Movses Khorenatsi's work holds particular significance because it contains unique material on the old oral traditions in Armenia before its conversion to Christianity and, more important, traces Armenian history from Movses' day to its origins. For his important contribution in development of Armenian historiography Movses Khorenatzi is considered to be the "father of Armenian history."
Movses Khorenatsi was born in the village of Khorni (Khoron and Khoronk) in the Armenian province of Taron sometime in 410 (There is also other version, that he was born in the Armenian province of Syunik, in the village of Khorena in the region of Harband).
He received his education in Syunik and was later sent to be taught under the auspices of Mesrop Mashtots, the creator of the Armenian alphabet, and Catholicos Sahak Partev. In having considerable difficulty translating the Bible from Greek to Armenian, Mesrop and Sahak felt the need to send Movses and several of their other students to Alexandria, Egypt, at that time the center of education and learning, so that they themselves learn the Greek and Syriac languages, as well as to learn grammar, oratory, theology and philosophy.
