This edition was translated and edited by Michael E. Stone.

These writings relate to Adam and Eve and to the antediluvian generations. They illustrate the extensive development of such themes preserved in Armenian. Each document is prefaced by introductory remarks providing some indication of its character and literary role and giving details of the manuscripts. The texts are accompanied by various readings, where more than one manuscript is utilized, and by comments. Some evident corruptions have been left in the text. The texts are also accompanied by English translations.

This edition was published by E.J. Brill in 1996.
