With the ownership signature of Arshag Oshan Sakissian, Jerusalem 1935. Arshag was author of History of the Armenian Question to 1885. From James De Lorenzi's "Caught in the Storm of Progress: Timoteos Saprichian, Ethiopia, and the Modernity of Christianity": "An Armenian Orthodox bishop from Ottoman Jerusalem, Saprichian made his trip to Ethiopia at the behest of the British government, which hoped he could intercede in its growing diplomatic conflict with Téwodros. While on this mission, Saprichian took the opportunity to conduct a detailed investigation into the culture and orthodoxy of the Ethiopian Christians. The text Saprichian subsequently produced offers a unique perspective upon this moment, for it reveals much more about the changing hierarchies of world Christianity in the imperial nineteenth century than the Ethiopian faith and culture its author consciously sought to portray."
