Published by Istanbul, Hohannis and Pogos, [1782]., 1782
Seller: Antiquariat INLIBRIS Gilhofer Nfg. GmbH, Vienna, A, Austria
Large 4to (212 x 265 mm). (2), 639, (1) pp. With woodcut devices on title-page, woodcut borders, woodcut initials and headers. Contemporary speckled calf, elaborately tooled in gilt, all edges gilt and goffered. Scarce edition of the most important Armenian text after the Bible itself: the "Book of Lamentations", called "one of the world's great mystical poems" (Evans) which laid the foundations of Armenian literature and religious philosophy. Gregory of Narek (951-1003 CE) was an Armenian saint and leading writer of the Armenian Church; while also famous for his commentary on the Song of Songs, the influence of his Book of Lamentations - a compilation of prayers addressed directly to God - is unmatched. Often referred to simply as 'Narek', the book first appeared in print in 1701, after which its popularity only grew. At the turn of the century, the widespread appreciation for the work, and its role in folk traditions, was even noted in the writings of the former Armenian Orthodox Patriarch, Malachia Ormanian: "For private prayers there is also used a book called Narek, composed by the monk St. Grigor of Narek. This collection, which is written in a florid and sublime style, is regarded as a potent talisman against all kinds of dangers" (p. 177). Generally hailed as the "most beloved work of Armenian literature" (Hacikyan), this early copy, with its gilt-decorated binding and woodcut borders and initials, is a lovely example of an important literary and religious tradition. The 1782 Istanbul ("Kostandnowpolis") edition is quite scarce, with only five copies available in institutions worldwide (SB Berlin, Harvard, UCLA, Library of Congress, and National Library of Israel, the latter two copies incomplete). - Binding slightly rubbed, dampstain in first and last few leaves, a few faint pencil marks. The word "aghot'its'" is mutilated in the half title and title-page. Altogether in very good condition. - Voskanian 722. OCLC 68966248. Not in Nersessian. Cf. Helen Evans et al., "Armenians Expand West: The Kingdom of Cilicia", in: Armenia: Art, Religion, and Trade in the Middle Ages (Yale University Press, 2018), p. 139. Agop Jack Hacikyan et al., "Grigor Narekatsi", in: The Heritage of Armenian Literature: From the sixth to the eighteenth century (Detroit; Wayne State University Press, 2002), pp. 274-279.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible
4to (170 x 222 mm). Armenian manuscript on paper. (30 blank), 233 (instead of 235), (29 blank) pp., paginated in the original hand, lacking one leaf (pp. 7-8). 31 lines, 2 columns. Script in black and purple, columns ruled in purple. Illustrated with an illuminated headpiece and border on title-page, 5 further illustrated headers, 3 of which are illuminated, and 4 botanical paintings. Leading and terminal blanks have vertical rules in colours and gilt. Contemporary modified traditional Armenian binding, full leather stamped in blind and gilt, red silk pastedowns. A striking and finely illuminated compilation of commentaries on the Song of Songs, written in classical Armenian by the scribe, clerk, and notary Yohan Vagharshapatets'i for the patron Yakob (Hagop) vardapet. While it is a valuable piece of art in its own right, one of the manuscript's previous owners, revealed by an inscription, was Prince Georgy Vasilyevich Obolensky (1826-86), an active prince who worked as a lawyer and held the rank of lieutenant general in the Imperial Russian Army. - The four commentaries herein are copied in a professional notrgir (notary) script with some bolorgir (minuscule) and erkat'agir (majuscule) throughout. The first commentary in this compilation is by the famous St Gregory of Narek (ca. 945-1003), beloved by Armenians for his Book of Lamentations, mystical prayers, poetry, hymns, homilies, and other works. His commentary on the Song of Songs, his earliest work, was written at the request of Prince Gurgen-Khachik Artsruni in 977. The second text is the Armenian translation of the Commentary written by Origen of Alexandria (ca. 185-253), the Greek theologian and ascetic. The third was penned in the 13th century by Vardan Arewelts'i (ca. 1200-71), scholar, educator, and vardapet (learned priest), best known for his History and Geography. The fourth and last commentary was composed by Gregory of Tat'ew (ca. 1344-1409), a renowned exegete, scholar, and teacher. - The influence of print technology is apparent in the manuscript, which mixes manuscript tradition and 18th century modernity. It includes a title-page, which is unusual in manuscripts but common in printed books, clearly showing the scribe and artist's knowledge of and exposure to books produced on a printing press. The floral decorations are unrelated to the text and are included to embellish the book. In the 17th to 18th centuries, such motifs become more prevalent in both late Armenian and Islamic manuscripts, and were possibly introduced through exposure to Western European printed herbal books - which in turn had been inspired hundreds of years previously by Arabic and Greek herbal manuscripts. - Covers lightly worn, binding delicate, a few minor stains. A beautiful example of the Armenian manuscript tradition.
