ARMENIAN MINIATURES

By Lydia A. Dournovo, Preface by Sirarpie Der Nersessian

Here is a survey of over 1,000 years of this art, from the collections of the Matenadaran, the library at Yerevan, in the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic. From the beginnings in the 6th of 7th century, A.D., through the 17th century, we may here sample the different aspects of a fascinating art form, the styles of the various schools, and their modifications though the centuries.
