Silver Gospels, Canon Table, This Gospels manuscript was written in 937 of the Armenian era [1488 CE] in the province of Ekełeac' by the priest Łazar at the monastery of Surb Awgsend (St. Auxentius). Though the fifteenth-century manuscript was not a terribly costly production (for example, the nimbuses around the evangelists' heads are painted in yellow or orange rather than gold), it later came to be housed in a magnificent binding with large silver plaques showing the Presentation of the christ child at the temple on the front and the Ascension on the back
