Abraham Yerevantsi also known as Abraham of Yerevan ( Armenian: Աբրահամ Երևանցի) was an 18th-century Armenian historian who lived in the late Safavid and early Afsharid era's. [1] He is known for being the author of one work, which was edited later on, known variously as the History of the Persian king, [1] The History of the Wars 1721-1736, [1] or as the History of the Wars fought by the Ottomans over Armenian and Persian cities. The work contains valuable information on the Afghan invasion, the Ottoman-Persian Wars, Nader Shah's coronation at the Mugan plain, as well as of the defense by the local Armenians of the Yerevan Province against the Ottoman invasion in 1724. [1] The work is located on the San Lazzaro degli Armeni. [2] A copy of the edited version was brought to Soviet Armenia in 1928 and was published in 1938. [1]
