Summary
[edit]DescriptionHymnal, Original binding, Walters Manuscript W.545, Lower board outside.jpg |
English: Reddish-brown morocco binding over wooden boards (no lining); upper cover had two catches (the lower one is now missing) and lower cover had two leather straps that attached to the catches (both straps are now missing but their stubs remain, along with the four metal pins with imprinted stars that held them in place); upper and lower boards decorated with blind-tooled quatrefoil floral motif in the center and four additional floral motifs in the corners of a rectangular frame; spine is undecorated with four ribs
This Armenian hymnal was created in the late-17th or early 18th century. Although no colophons are recorded in the manuscript, the name of the scribe, Awēt, appears on fol. 11r. This may be the same Awēt whose work is recorded elsewhere in manuscripts produced at the Monastery of Surb Amenap'rkič in Julfa, Isfahan (Iran). The four miniatures depicting Joachim and Anna, Adam and Eve, the Resurrection of Christ, and Pentecost represent familiarity with European pictorial traditions. They appear to have been retouched after the original paint began to flake off. The head-pieces for canon divisions and the marginal decoration are based on earlier Armenian models. The small size of this hymnal suggests that it was used privately when participating in the Armenian liturgy. |
