Abstract
The article offers an editio princeps and an English translation of the Armenian homily of Meletius of Antioch on Holy Thursday. Mentioned en passant by Zarbhanalean in 1889 and by van Esbroeck a hundred years later, the text has hitherto remained inedited. The sermon presents literal parallels with three Old Georgian texts preserved under the name of Meletius of Antioch and with one Armenian homily transmitted under the name of otherwise unknown bishop Zenob. The sermon betrays an author who loves to inquire into the Gospel texts and to exegetically savour their emotions. It contains a series of interesting parabiblical details concerning the events of Jesus’ last days before Crucifixion and Resurrection.
