Created by Awet (Avet), at the Monastery of Surb Amenap'rkic (St. Salvatore) in New Julfa [Isfahan], Iran, late 17th or 18th century [1]. Henry Walters, Baltimore [date and mode of acquisition unknown] [2]; Walters Art Museum, 1931, by bequest.[1] Location is based on the location of other known products of the scribe. The precise location of the manuscript is unknown between its creation and 1931, and it may have been removed from Armenian territory at some point during the 19th-century Armenian Massacres, World War I, or the Armenian Genocide.[2] This could be the Armenian book purchased by Henry Walters in 1897; see also W.547.
