The author suggests a fresh look to the Mkhitar Gosh studies (as a part of Ar­menian studies) aiming to make Mkhitar Gosh (XII-XIII centuries) and his main work – the Armenian Lawcode – closer and more understandable to the con­­temporary professional community, as well as the broader public. As an ex­ample of the alleged attainment of that goal the author suggests a Commentary to the Chapter VI of Mkhitar’s own introduction to his Lawcode. The me­thod­o­logy of the Commentary includes drawing parallels between Gosh’s juridical ideas and contemporary legal concepts, as well as casting light to the larger context of Gosh’s time and work. In particular, the author demonstrates that certain le­gis­lative techniques used by Mkhitar Gosh in XII century are still actual; he efforts to explain terminology used by Gosh within the modern juridical ap­pa­ratus; he attempts to reveal the roots of legal mentality patterns in medieval Ar­menia. In search of Cilician influence over Mkhitar Gosh, the author brings examples of his use of certain ideas by Cilician Armenian authors (e.g., Arch­bishop Nerses of Lamb­ron and Ignatius of Sev Ler). As a conclusion, the author voices the need for a new wave of Mkhitar Gosh studies focusing at the practical and actual issues.
