Armenians have produced the most by a wide margin.
Surviving estimates:
Armenians: ~30,000โ35,000 manuscripts worldwide (Matenadaran alone holds the largest share).
Georgians: ~10,000โ12,000.
Azerbaijanis: Main Institute collection ~12,000 items total (mostly Arabic/Persian/Turkic works of mixed origin); distinct Azerbaijani-language historical manuscripts number far fewer.
Armenian and Georgian traditions began in the 5th century with unique alphabets and continuous Christian scribal culture.
๐จ๐๏ธ Piers Morgan hit back at Jorge Jesus and his treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo ๐ด๐ฃ
โI don't blame Jorge Jesus entirely. I blame the Portuguese Football Federation for allowing things to get to this point. They gave him the position, but that doesn't mean he should be allowed to speak about Cristiano Ronaldo however he likes. If the federation had properly cautioned him about how he addresses a player who has given so much to this country, perhaps things would have been different. So, for me, the responsibility lies with the federation as much as it does with the manager.
I also have an idea why Jorge Jesus keeps bringing Cristiano Ronaldo into conversations. He wants attention, he wants recognition, and he understands that one of the easiest ways to get noticed in football today is to criticise Ronaldo. Whether people agree with him or not, mentioning Cristiano's name guarantees headlines. I hope he gets all the attention he wants, but eventually, football will demand more than press conference statements.
I genuinely wish him success. I want to see Portugal win the World Cup and the next European Championship under his leadership. I want him to prove that everything he has been saying is backed by results. Because when the trophies start coming, nobody will need to ask questions about his words. His performances on the pitch will speak for him.
However, let's be honest, Jorge Jesus is not a manager with a proven record of managing Europe's biggest clubs or handling some of the biggest personalities in world football. We know his coaching history, we know his achievements, and we know the level of clubs he has managed. Getting the Portugal national team job is a huge opportunity, and I congratulate him for that, but he must understand the responsibility that comes with it.
Perhaps he feels comfortable because he is now in a dressing room filled with some of the biggest names in football. But managing a national team of talented individuals is completely different from talking confidently in front of journalists. You have to earn the respect of your players, manage their personalities and, most importantly, deliver results. That's where the real test begins.
So congratulations to Jorge Jesus. I wish him the very best, but we will be watching him and this Portugal team very closely. They wanted Cristiano Ronaldo out of the picture, and now they have the opportunity to show the world what they can achieve without him. From this moment, I don't want to hear excuses or endless explanations at press conferences. We will judge them by their performances, their results and the trophies they bring home. That's how football works.โ
