Abstract

The beginning of the Armenian printed book is a new era for Armenian writing and literature. It has completely inherited all the traditions of manuscripts. Remember that throughout the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, printed and handwritten literature coexisted and served the public. Ancient books, like manuscripts, have handwritten remarks by historical masters, library inventory numbers, and other different kinds of notes in the margins, on free pages. Seals hold equal significance to these. In addition to being a unique source for printing, the compilation of handwritten and library notes found in the National Library’s ancient books is also an excellent source for research on history in general, and culture history in particular.
