- Description:
- In Armenian., Layout: two columns of 19 lines. Section numbers in margins against text, and concordance numbers in lower margins., Script: bolorgir., Decoration: miniatures and illuminations by Tʻoros Taronacʻi, some signed. Full-page portraits of the Evangelists. Ornate frames, headpieces, marginal decorations. Zoomorphic letters, ornate initials., Binding: leather over boards. Front cover has metal cross and other ornaments; rear cover is stamped. Patterned linen doublures on inside covers., Colophon (fols. 298v-299v) indicates the manuscript was written for Ovanē Ōrpēli (also Awrpēli), a member of the Ōrbelean family which held extensive domains in the same province. Codex was executed at the monastery of Noravank' by the scribe Momik, who was assisted by the vardapet Pawłos. These two scribes completed the greater part of the writing by AE 756 (=AD 1307), when Momik had serious trouble with his eyes. Manuscript was completed by another scribe, Yohanēs or Yovhannēs. Momik recovered his sight in AE 780 (=AD 1331) and wrote the colophon in which he gives interesting information concerning the copy of the manuscript and the feudal lords of Siwnikʻ. The book then passed into the possession of Archbishop Step'anos-Tarsayič, also a member of the Ōrbelean family. In AD 1331 Archbishop Step'anos-Tarsayič had the manuscript "adorned with gold and silver" by order of prince Biwrt'ēl, the head of the Ōrbelean family. Since replaced by current leather binding., and In AE 855 (=AD 1406) the manuscript belonged to a priest named Sēt' (fol. 235r). Later inscriptions indicate that the manuscript was acquired by the craftsman Awēt and his brothers and sons, who in turn offered it to the church of Surb Yakob (St. James) in the town of Cʻałman (fol. 235v); a second indicates the manuscript subsequently belonged to an individual named And[r]ēas and his sons (fol. 236r).

- Abstract:
- Most widely known today for his studies of Near Eastern languages Guillaume Postel was a pioneer in the study of Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, and Aramaic in Western Europe. He was better known in his own time as a prophet, millennialist, and Utopiast. His writings deal largely with his effort to promote world peace, but he was condemned as a heretic for his belief that he was divinely inspired; he claimed, in fact, that he was the reincarnation of the Virgin of Venice. As a scholar he was instrumental in promoting the teaching of Arabic and Syriac, and participated in editing and publishing a number of early Christian works. His theories of language origin (he thought all languages were derived from Hebrew) are no longer considered valid, but his work in comparative linguistics earned him the reputation as the founder of that discipline.
