    Paris - On October 26, the oldest French public library Mazarine in
    Paris, inaugurated a magnificent exhibition of Armenian old books
    "Of the revival to the Lights," to mark 500 years of the birth of
    the Armenian printing.

    The exhibition presents 58 works. The exhibition reflects the wide and
    fragmented geography of the Armenian printing, including Venice, Rome,
    Constantinople, Amsterdam, Marseilles, Madras and elsewhere, and often
    difficult conditions in which the men of the book worked. Among the
    works, an Alphabetum Armenicum offered to Cardinal Mazarin (1602-61).

    The exhibit is on view through November 30. For information visit
