He has been awarded the major

Stone’s academic activities
have been devoted to two different
disciplines, Armenian Studies and
Jewish literature and thought in
the period of the Second Temple.
His research and publication has
been divided more or less equally
between these two fields. In the
field of Jewish Literature and
Thought of the Second
Temple Period, Michael
Stone has been a leader in
particular in the study of the
Apocrypha: books of Biblical
nature that are not included in
the Bible. He has written
numerous articles and mono
graphs on this subject, with
particular interest in the areas
of literature and religious
thought. His most widely
known works are his com
mentary on Jewish literature
after the second Temple era, vari
ous writings on the literature of
Adam and Eve, and recently The
Aramaic Levi Document (2004).
He has published a number of
books and many articles in the
field of Armenian Studies. He was
founder and President for 20
years, and now Life Honorary
President, of the Association
Internationale des Etudes
Armeniennes.
He also writes and publishes
Dr. Michael Stone
original poetry.
He is a Fellow of the Australian
Humanities Academy, a Foreign
Member of the Royal Netherlands
Academy and of the Accademia
Lombarda (Milan, Italy).

“Even while the gates are clesed and locked
on every side and in every corner - so that one
might mistakeniy thought that there was no
hope. God forhid - i stiii heiieve that there
remains pienty of hope. For God’s capacity to
send reiief and deiiverance is very great,
indeed, and His power of safvation is
inexhaustibie.”
- Reb Noson of Breslov, Letter #314.
