Armenian Gospels of Edessa

3

"The Armenian Gospels of Edessa codex is considered among one of the most significant bibles in Europe. Written and illuminated in the sixteenth century, the manuscript features twenty-six lavishly illuminated full-page miniatures consistent with the Armenian rules of book painting, representing one of the few example that survived time reaching modern days.

Written in a bolorgir style script in a two-column structure, the manuscript displays an annotation on the first leaf indicating that the work was created in 1614 near Edessa, Mesopotamia."
