Abstract

Based on personal observations, we presented the libraries of New Jugha, which were created at three important bases. а) Educational center. In 1831, KhachaturKesaratsi opened a monastery school, on the basis of which many schools were created. At present, there are “Armen,” “Kananyan,” “Katarinyan” schools, the Department of Armenian Studies of the University. b) Typography. In 1637, Kesaratsi founded the first printing house in Persia, which printed educational, theological, moral, historical and folklore books. c) A book. The Armenians of Jugha listed the manuscripts and books they brought from their homeland, as well as the books printed in their new place of residence. Today there are three basic libraries in New Jugha: 1) the monastery library, 2) the state university library, 3) the “Ararat” union library, where there are also valuable dialectological monographs.
