About

From 1512, when the first Armenian printed codex appeared in Venice, to the end of the early modern period in 1800, Armenian presses operated in 19 locations across the Armenian diaspora. Sebouh Aslanian explores why certain books were published at certain times, how books were sold across the diaspora, who read them, and how the printed word helped fashion a new collective identity for early modern Armenians. The lecture highlights the rich tradition of Armenian printing in the early modern period. Many of the rare publications discussed are available in the Library's Armenian collections.
