摘要
A 17th century Armenian manuscript, a Gospel Book, has been in Pretoria in what is now the National Cultural History Museum since 1897 and has never been displayed or studied. It is a particularly luxuriously illustrated manuscript that was bought by Pres. Kruger and his executive committee from an Armenian fugitive. Its presence in South Africa is surprising since there has never been more than 200 Armenians in the country. The history of the manuscript is explained and the manuscript is examined in detail in the context of similar Armenian Gospel Books elsewhere in the world.
