Copied and illuminated by priest T'oros Roslin, nephew of the catholicos Constantine I, Hromkla (modern Rumkale, Türkiye), 1262; Hermitage of Ark'-akaghin, Cilicia, Armenia, 1262, by gift [with Bishop Sion as intermediary]. Ter Tiratur, Sebastia (modern Sivas, Türkiye), 1604, by gift. Church of the Holy Virgin, Sebastia (modern Sivas, Türkiye), by 1626, [mode of acquisition unknown] [1]. Church of the Surb Nishan (Holy Cross), Sebastia (modern Sivas, Türkiye), by 1881, by transfer [2]. Dikran Kelekian, Paris and New York, by 1929, [mode of acquisition unknown]; Henry Walters, Baltimore, by 1929, by purchase [3]; Sadie Jones [Mrs. Henry Walters], New York, 1931, by bequest; Walters Art Museum, 1935, by gift.[1] Rebound in that church in 1643.[2] Recorded in this location in 1886 and 1904. Seen at the monastery ca. 1914 by the Armenian archbishop (probably Karekin Hovsepian). The location of the manuscript is unknown between 1914 and 1931, and it may have been removed from Armenian territory at some point during World War I and the Armenian Genocide.[3] Letters in the Walters Art Museum Archives about this manuscript note that Dikran Kelekian sold the manuscript to Henry Walters in Paris in 1926, 1928, or 1929. It remained in the Walters’ personal collection until it was gifted to the Walters Art Gallery in 1935 by Mrs. Walters.
