Hymnal, Head-piece for the Canon of the Eve of Theophany, This Armenian hymnal was created in the late-17th or early 18th century. Although no colophons are recorded in the manuscript, the name of the scribe, Awēt. This may be the same Awēt whose work is recorded elsewhere in manuscripts produced at the Monastery of Surb Amenap'rkič in Julfa, Isfahan (Iran). The four miniatures depicting Joachim and Anna, Adam and Eve, the Resurrection of Christ, and Pentecost represent familiarity with European pictorial traditions
