Excellent publication

Excellent publication. Fantastic reproductions. Tells a lot about Armenian art and history. In my opinion GOSPEL OF GLADZOR belongs to MATENADARAN together with all other Armenian valuable books. This will let so many Armenian as well as internationally renown scholars to see and study it. Many times , during my visits to Armenia (since 1990) I have studied old manuscripts also khatchcars around many monasteries. I used to own a few pages of 13-th century manuscript, which I dnated to MATENADARAN.

Stunning Gospel Art

This art book shows brilliant medieval Gospel manuscript illuminations by renown Armenian painters. The quality of the art is world class and the quality of the reproductions is excellent.
