Advances in Armenian Studies
During the twentieth century the scholarly discipline of Armenian Studies developed in both the Second and Third Republics of Armenia and throughout the Armenian Diaspora. Up-to-date publications about Armenian history, literature, religion, science, art, architecture, and other fields now exist in languages accessible to non-Armenian specialists who need these materials to further their own research. The Album of Armenian Paleography, which contains discussions of the alphabet, facsimiles of pages from manuscripts with complete descriptions of the paleography in each, and tables of letter shapes with dating at the end gives provides researchers the tools they need to date Armenian manuscripts from the shape of the letters. The manuscript reproduced in this publication was copied in the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia in 1287–1288 and is now housed in the Matenadaran, an ancient manuscript repository in Yerevan, Armenia.
