Codices Selecti XC. Codex Etschmiadzin. Facsimile reprint due November 1999. This is one of the most precious manuscripts in the world, named after the place where it was formerly kept. Its outstanding importance in religious life, art, and science. The text was written at the monastery of Noravank in the province of Blen (southeast of Yerevan, Armenia) in 989. This is held to be the most faithful copy of the Old Armenian bible translation which dates back to the 5th century and which is called the "Queen of Versions." The 15 full-page illustrations preceding the biblical report date back even further being based on the system of decoration developed by Eusebius of Caesarea in the first half of the 4th century. However, the two pages which, sewn into strips of parchment, are bound into the last layer of the manuscript are the real artistic and spiritual culmination of the codex. These two folios are from a 7th century evangelary and display four full-page feast-day illuminations, the Annunciation, the Annunciation to Zacharias, the Adoration of the Magi, and the Baptism of Christ. The Hieratic, monumental miniatures represent the oldest instance of Armenian book illumination. Limited edition of 250 hand-numbered copies. The Prime edition has a reproduction of the original Ivory cover. ISBN 3-201-01702-7. $14,600.00; Normal Edition has a hand-made leather cover. ISBN 3-201-01703-5
