BRITISH LIBRARY EXHIBITS RARE ARMENIAN BOOKS

14:18, November 21, 2012

A display of Armenian treasures celebrating the 500th anniversary of
Armenian printing is on show at the Ritblat Treasures Gallery of the
British Library until the end of January 2013.

On view are a number of exquisitely illuminated manuscripts and rare
specimens of the earliest Armenian printed books the library holds.

Printing in Armenian began in 1512 in Venice, spreading to other
European cities, the Near East and India in the centuries that
followed. In Armenia, printing was introduced in 1771.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
