Created by Aristakes for Priest Hakob, son of Umek and Hrip'sime, Armenia [possibly in the Lake Van Region, Türkiye], 1475 [1]. Mahdesi Elia, Erzerum, 1717, by purchase; Surb Parsan (St. Parsam), [DATE], Tokat, Türkiye, by gift [2]. Louis Froget, Lyons and Paris, France, by 1901, [mode of acquisition unknown] [3]; Henry Walters, Baltimore, MD, 1901, by purchase [George A. Lucas as agent]; Walters Art Museum, 1931, by bequest.[1] Armenian patriarch, Karekin Hovsepian, identified the creation place as Tauris, Persia (modern Tabriz, Iran) in 1936.[2] Undated ownership notices include: Ter Ghazar and sons Ter Abraham and Ter Hakob; Khodja Ghazar and Astvadsatur (who renewed and deposited the manuscript at the Church of the Holy Virgin [location unknown]); and Bishop Poghos, who rebound it with help from his son Hovannes Malaz.[3] The precise location of this manuscript is unknown between 1751 and 1901, and it may have been removed from Armenian territory during the 19th-century Armenian massacres.
