This gorgeous illuminated Armenian Bible consists of six hundred and twenty pages. The pages of text are generally arranged in two vertical columns ranging from twenty to twenty two lines written in black characters, although some words and capitals are distinguished with red ink. There are twenty full page miniature illuminated scenes detailing the life of Christ. Some of these scenes include the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Presentation in the Temple, the Baptism of Christ, the Transfiguration, the Resurrection of Lazarus, the Entry into Jerusalem, the Washing of the Feet, the Crucifixion, the Entombment, the Descent into Hell, the Ascension, and the Last Judgment. In addition, there are full page portraits of the four gospel writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These illuminated pages feature an extended palette of colours, including blues, greens, and yellows. Other decorations are featured throughout the the text, including floral and bird motifs. The entire book is encased in a leather binding and the front cover is decorated with an incised cross partially covered by a silver repoussée cross adorned with five rosettes. The colophon, an inscription in the back of a manuscript that details facts related to its production, mentions two scribes by name: Lucas (most likely the illustrator) and his sister Elisabeth under the sponsorship of Mirza Djan. It also states that the work was produced for the borough of Garbi located in the plains of the Ararat Mountains in the year 1583 A.D. - (X.0369)   « Less

These three splendid full-page miniatures probably belonged to a Book of Hours which has since been dismantled. Books of Hours were used in private devotions and provided lay people with the opportunity to follow a shorter version of the prayers recited in the monasteries. By imitating the activity of the religious, men and women hoped to aid their own salvation. The three main scenes depicted were all common in this type of manuscript. The annunciation of the birth of Christ to the shepherds is often found at beginning of Terce, part of the Hours of the Virgin. The flight into Egypt is usually depicted at the start of Vespers. King David and his harp frequently make an appearance at the start of the Penitential Psalms as he is traditionally believed to be their author. One of the most remarkable features of these examples is the fact that the borders around the main images are fully illustrated with narrative scenes. They are also created using full colour not single tones. This was relatively unusual and is a measure of the care lavished upon them. Some of the subsidiary scenes depict actual Biblical events such as the massacre of the innocents. Others are more fanciful such as the band of peasants dancing beneath the annunciation to the shepherds. They were intended to delight the owner and provide a visual explanation of the accompanying text. Although illuminated manuscripts were originally produced in monasteries, by the late fifteenth century specialised workshops fulfilled the same function. This period has been termed the ‘golden age’ of illumination. By this date the art was closely related to panel painting and the same artists often worked in both media. The figure of the godhead in the David illumination, for example, finds parallel in works by figures such as Hans Memling and Van Eyck. The style therefore suggests that they were created in northern Europe, possibly in a workshop in France or Flanders. The detailed landscapes and city views are particularly exquisite and recall these traditions. There was a vibrant export trade in these works which were sought after commodities in the leading European courts.   « Less
