English: A compilation with commentaries on Gospels (Meknutiun), West Armenia, 18th century, with silver binding decorated with Christian scenes, Kayseri, Ottoman, end of 17th century
Armenian manuscript on paper, 285 leaves, 23-32 lines to the page written in boloragir in black and red ink, opening leaf with index, incomplete at end; the silver binding worked in repoussé, the front cover with the nativity scene with angels above holding a banner inscribed in ergatagir script, back cover with a scene of God enthroned flanked by Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary above a scene of the Last Judgement 16.1 by 12.3cm. inscriptions in the banner on the binding: 'Glory to God in Heaven and peace on Earth' The elaborately worked silver binding of this manuscript is closely comparable to an example in the MET Museum (acc. no.16.99). The same scenes adorn a binding made in Kayseri by M. Karapet Malkhas, dated 1671 in the Mekhitarist Library, Vienna, MS 416, and another in the Matenadaran in Erevan. |
