One of the world's great art treasures is the collection of the Jerusalem Patriarchate of the Armenian Church, the richest and most important concentration of Armenian art in the world. Its wealth stems from the place held by Jerusalem in the minds and hearts of the Armenians throughout their existence as a Christian nation, since the fourth century A.D. Pilgrims brought to Jerusalem many of the outstanding creations of Armenian artists, which were deposited in the treasury and library of the Armenian Cathedral of St. James (S. Hakob). Here, for the first time, this collection has been photographed and described extensively. This volume unveils a dazzling variety of art objects--sumptuous medieval illuminated manuscripts, printed books, mosaic pavements, painted tiles and ritual objects. The book contains 194 illustrations, 131 in color. A full description of the collection and its background is provided, along with a detailed catalogue of the objects illustrated.--From publisher description.

Armenia was the first country to recognize Christianity as the official state religion in 301 AD, twelve years before Constantine's decree granting tolerance to Christianity within the Roman Empire. Ever since, Armenia has claimed the privilege of being the first Christian nation, and the wealth of Christian art produced in Armenia since then is testimony to the fundamental importance of the Christian faith to the Armenian people. This extensive new survey of Armenian Christian art, published to accompany a major exhibition at The British Library, celebrates the Christian art tradition in Armenia during the last 1700 years. The extraordinary quality and range of Armenian art which is documented includes sculpture, metalwork, textiles, ceramics, wood carvings and illuminated manuscripts and has been drawn together from collections throughout the world—many of the examples have never before been seen outside Armenia. In his authoritative text, Dr. Vrej Nersessian, Curator at The British Library, charts the development of Christianity in Armenia. This fascinating history is essential to an understanding of the art and religious tradition of Armenia, a country in which the sense of the sacred extends well beyond the purely religious, infiltrating the entire fabric of Armenian affairs to create a fascinating culture. This sumptuously illustrated book will be of immense value to anyone with an interest in Byzantine art and culture, the history of Christianity and the history of Armenia and the Middle Orient.

For over a thousand years the pre-eminent expression of Armenian culture was the illuminated manuscript--above all, the illustrated Gospel Book. Brilliantly painted and often bound in silver and decorated with jewels, these volumes constitute the principal source of information on the history, religion, language, and art of Armenia. Treasures in Heaven is a comprehensive introduction in English to the art and history of Armenian manuscript painting. It reveals the degree to which this art form embodies a distinctively Armenian aesthetic and religious experience. Eighty-eight of the most significant examples of Armenian manuscript illumination are reproduced and extensively discussed in the catalog. Essays by a team of international scholars examine each of the principal schools and periods of Armenian illumination--from the earliest surviving works of the seventh century to manuscripts produced by the Armenian Diaspora communities during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Chapters on the history and religion of Armenia place illuminated manuscripts within the broader context of Armenian culture. The distinctive techniques and materials of Armenian manuscript painting and bookbinding are also explained. Contributors to this volume include Helen C. Evans, Nina G. Garsoïan, Thomas F. Mathews, Krikor H. Maksoudian, Sylvie L. Merian, Mary Virginia Orna, and Alice Taylor.

The Armenian art and mass production of ceramics saw the light for the first time in the 9th century B.C. It was a rudimentary art that lacked refined motifs and ornamentation, nevertheless, the prehistoric Hyksos ceramics art offered an astonishing variety of products, objects, and wares such as vases, bowls, urns, jars, jugs, etc. Armenian art is the unique form of art developed over the last five millennia in which the Armenian people lived on the Armenian Highland. Armenian architecture and miniature painting have dominated Armenian art and have shown consistent development over the centuries. Other forms of Armenian art include sculpture, fresco, mosaic, ceramic, metalwork, engraving, and textiles, especially Armenian carpets. In this book, you can discover: -The exquisite Armenian ceramics from the 7th century B.C. to the present day -The Urartian Jars of the 7th century B.C. -Polychrome bowls of the 11th and 12th centuries, Devin, Ani, Erevan -Ceramics and tiles of Jerusalem -Kutahya ceramic incense burners and egg-shaped pottery -Safavid porcelain -The first & earliest Cilicia, Tarsus & Armenia coins -Coins of Tigranes II, Hetum I, Korykos, 1st century B.C., Sasanian kings, Ardaxsir I, Mithridates III, King Levon I & II -Urartian metal work, 8th B.C.
