Wasn't the Sold Gospel Stolen from St. Amenaprkich Church of Isfahan?
Tehran's Arax weekly reported that an Armenian manuscript of 17th
century was sold at the famous Sotheby's Auction. The initial price of
the book was estimated to be 4-6 thousand pounds, and was sold at
13.750 pounds, panarmenian.news reports.
The manuscript is composed of 271 pages. It is full of miniatures.
Gold was used with natural colors.
The weekly demands explanations from the Armenian Diocese of Isfahan
in this connection because in case the manuscript turns out to be one
of the treasures stolen from St. Amenaprkich Church of Isfahan, the
Diocese members will be the main suspects.
On June 12, in London, two Armenians tried to sell relics of the
Armenian national heritage belonging to St. Amenaprkich Church of
Isfahan. The board of the Diocese has not released the list of the
stolen object yet though three suspects have been detained in Isfahan.
