A display of Armenian treasures celebrating the 500th anniversary of
Armenian printing is on show at the Ritblat Treasures Gallery of the
British Library until the end of January 2013.
On view are a number of exquisitely illuminated manuscripts and rare
specimens of the earliest Armenian printed books the library holds.
Printing in Armenian began in 1512 in Venice, spreading to other
European cities, the Near East and India in the centuries that
followed. In Armenia, printing was introduced in 1771.
