YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 26, ARMENPRESS: On the occasion of the 500th
anniversary of the Armenian typography an exceptional exhibition
will take place in Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris on October 26-30,
which will be organized with the assistance of the Bibliotheque
universitaire des Langues et civilisations (BULAC – Languages
and Civilisations University Library). In the framework of the
exhibition rare and precious Armenian books unknown to the public
will be exhibited, mainly collected from the authoritative libraries
and monasteries. This was reported to Armenpress by the responsible
for the exhibition Michael Nshanyan.
“The exhibition presents the wide geography of the Armenian
typography – Venice, Rome, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Marseilles and
Madras. It highlights the intellectual, technical and trade exchanges
between Europe and the East beginning from the Renaissance up to
the Illuminators Epoch”, – stated Michael Nshanyan, adding that this
exhibition was a great opportunity to present the public the exclusive
samples of the Armenian book.
On October 26, parallel to the exhibition, a symposium will take
place, organized by the Bibliotheque universitaire des Langues et
civilizations (BULAC). On that day lectures will be reported, devoted
to the 500th anniversary of the typography of the Armenian book.
