Note 7 — Chapter XVI · EDGMIATSIN AND THE ARMENIAN CHURCH
Reading edition
According to Von Haxthausen (journey in 1843) the synod took the place of the general council of the Church, which it was impossible to assemble. He adds that in 1783 the Patriarch Lukas decreed that it should not consist of fewer than seven members; in 1802 there were nine members (Transcaucasia, English edition, p. 305). ↑
