Description

"The sheer variety and sophistication of the Persian manuscripts collection in the Matenadaran of Erevan, initiated more than a century ago, was achieved through acquisitions and institutional donations. These brilliant illuminated masterpieces, dating from the late 13th to the 19th century, cover almost all of the major centers of manuscript production of the Persian world. Taken altogether, this collection provides a comprehensive panorama of the written culture, sciences and history of the Iranian people. The thoroughly researched and fully illustrated selection of manuscripts in this publication provides scholars and connoisseurs a new opportunity to explore the Persian art of the book in all its splendor."--
