gamavor Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I have in my library a rare copy of Armenian - Russian vocabulary printed in 1838 by Lazarian brothers, (Lazarevieh Institute) in Moscow and under the special request of Nicolai I Emperor of whole Russia. The book is an abridged version of previously issued Armenian Lexicon printed in Venice, Italy. If any of you guys is interested I might scan 10-20 pages. It also contains a short East Armenian grammar and the book itself is in amazingly good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anoushik Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Somehow I can't conceive the fact that Armenians were living in the 1800's but I can conceive the 1800's pretty well as far as the arts and music were concerned in Europe in 1800's. I guess it shows my lack of study about our history... Gamavor, thanks, it's pretty amazing. How did you get ahold of that book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamavor Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 My Grandfather (of blessed memory) devoted many years of his life to book collection. He was a maniac and walking encyclopedia. He had extensive collection of various Armenian history, art and religious books; the most notable was one of the first printed Bibles in Armenian (actually one of the first Bibles printed ever) in 1600’s in Amsterdam. For some reason he didn't trust us that we will preserve all this wealth and somewhere in mid 1980 he donated everything to Echmiadzin and I'm glad he did so.
