YEREVAN, OCTOBER 10, ARMENPRESS. The Zmmar Prelacy of the Lebanese
Diocese of the Armenian Catholic Church, which is considered to be
one of the major spiritual and cultural centers contributing to the
development of the Armenian studies, hosted a group of scientific
workers from the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts
Matenadaran. The visit lasted two weeks.
"Armenpress" had a conversation with the scientific worker of
Matenadaran Tatevik Manukyan, who shared with us her expressions
regarding the recent visit to Zmmar and the manuscripts they examined.
Among other things Tatevik Manukyan stated that they visited Zmmar
to study the non-listed manuscripts, which had not been described
previously. The activities were launched in accordance with the
agreement reached upon by the Vicar General of the Patriarchal
Congregation in Zmmar, Father, Supreme Archimandrite Gabriel Muradyan
and Director of Matenadaran Hrachya Tamrazyan last year.
The Congregation in Zmmar was founded in 1749 by founder of the
Armenian Catholic Patriarchate, Catholicos Abraham Artsivyan.
Currently, there are more than 2,000 manuscript books kept at the
monastery in Zmmar. Overall, the collection at the depository in
Zmmar is the world's fifth depository of Armenian manuscript books
in terms of quantity and scientific and cultural value. In addition
to manuscripts, out of the nearly 1,100 antique books printed from
1512 to 1800, 335 are kept with care at the depository in Zmmar, and
"Urbatagirk" (Venice, 1512) is one of the rare examples. There are
also other books, the only copies of which have been preserved and
are kept at the depository in Zmmar.
The manuscripts included in the collection in Zmmar are related to
Armenian life in the Middle Age, all spheres of science and culture,
and they are valuable for studying the history of neighboring countries
as well. Among the manuscripts in Zmmar are unique samples of Armenian
literature and literature that has been translated in the late Middle
Age. The collection is rich in manuscripts containing musical notes
and writings about medicine.
