The Etchmiadzin Gospel is one of the treasures of Armenian art. This paper describes it thoroughly in the course of arguing with the conventional view of its origin: that the illustrations had been copied by same scribe, John, who copied the manuscript, and that they are copies of sixth-century Syriac illuminations now lost. Der Nessessian argues that they are ninth-century compositions, newly drawn in Armenia, by an artist who need not have been the scribe. With 38 plates of the manuscript and comparanda, this reprint will appeal to scholars of art history and Armenian studies.

Before The Silence

This book is a collection of newspaper reports documenting the massacres and genocides of Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrian minorities who inhabited Asia Minor for many millennia, by the Ottoman Turks and later the Kemalists. These reports, emanating from English sources, show that there was a systematic and organized campaign by Turkish authorities to eliminate all traces of the memories of these minorities from the face of the earth.
