Vollständige Faksimile-Ausgabe im Originalformat des Codex Etschmiadzin

Description:

The text of this tetra-evangelary, written at the monastery of Noravank in the province of Blen (south east of Yerevan) in 989, is a copy of the Old Armenian bible translation that dates back to the early 5th century. 15 full-page illustrations at the beginning of the manuscript are a reflection of the system of decoration developed by Eusebius of Caesarea in the first half of the 4th century. The two last folios are from a 7th-century evangelary and display four full-page feast-day illuminations, the Annunciation, the Annunciation to Zacharias, the Adoration of the Magi, and the Baptism of Christ. The ivory cover dates from the 6th or 7th century. Cf. Publisher's website.
