This catalogue identifies and describes the Armenian manuscripts in the British Library's collections acquired since 1913, as well as 13 other un-catalogued collections in libraries and museums in the UK such as the Bodleian and John Rylands. The introduction provides a short history of each of the collections described and a separate section outlining the sources of Armenian iconography. There is an entry for each manuscript which gives full details, a description of the physical object and its present condition, the binding, provenance, contents, and details of any illustrations contained. |
