Description
** Manuscript collection of three theological treatises, 1779 In-4° (approx. 23 x 18 cm.). 65 leaves. A handwritten note in Greek on one leaf. Contemporary Armenian binding in full brown basane, spine with 5 bands, ornate boxes, framed with a central fleuron with religious subjects on the boards, gilt roulette on the edges, gilt edges (headpieces and one corner missing, spines split, worm galleries throughout, some stains and soiling). This text is a liturgical treatise on the rites and ceremonies of Easter, accompanied by biblical references written in Arabic. It offers a structured view of Armenian Easter practices, reflecting a multicultural context, probably in an Islamised region, and a desire to preserve tradition while adapting to its linguistic environment. It contains three texts of spiritual theology, most probably intended for personal or liturgical use Սկիզբն Սրբուհւոյ Ընդ (Commencement of Holy Communion) - a liturgical or catechetical text on spiritual preparation for communion, including prayers, mystical reflections and instructions. Աղոթք Զղջողական (Prayer of Repentance) - a penitential prayer, centred on the confession of faults, the request for mercy and the purification of the soul, typical of the Armenian ascetic tradition. Զատկացուցում ընդ Աստուած մեր բարոգ (Explanation of the Paschal Mystery in God our Benefactor).
