Book in poor condition (tears, stains, soiling, first pages unbound). But very fine binding in crimson velvet, decorated on both boards with silver plates featuring a central Crucifixion and Resurrection motif, with cherubs in the spandrels and friezes on the motif of vines and bunches of grapes.
An Armenian inscription on the 2nd plate (on the tomb of
Christ) indicates that the book was donated in 1892 to the Saint-Vartan church in Ferikugh (?) by K. Hirkanayan in memory of his deceased family.
