MATTHEW OF UBBA (EDESSA). - Armenian historian of the 12th century, author of a Chronicle or Annals, in which historical events from 952 to 1136 are narrated.

M.'s work is of an unpolished style, but interesting for its content, especially in the final part concerning the Crusaders. The French Armenologist E. Dulaurier translated M.'s work and introduced it into the series of the Recueil des historiens des Croisades with the Armenian text (Documents arméniens, I, Paris 1858).
