Catholicos John of Draskhanakert (Հովհաննես Ե Դրասխանակերտցի - Lot 268
Catholicos John of Draskhanakert (Հովհաննես Ե Դրասխանակերտցի), History of Armenia, 1867 Jerusalem, Presses du Saint-Siège apostolique de Saint- Jacques, 1867 (third edition). Small in-8°, 464 pages. Engraving of the Most Holy Trinity. Contemporary half-binding. Slight discoloration on spine; minor scattered foxing. Although beginning with the origins of Armenian history, the text deals mainly with events in the author's life in the 10th century. As Catholicos of Armenia, John played a major role in the politics of his time. His History is therefore a unique personal document, as no other Armenian historian was so involved in national and international affairs.
