British Library Exhibits Rare Armenian Books

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.
