Contemporary calf, with elaborated gilt dentelles, flat spine richly decorated in gilt, expertly rebacked with original spine preserved, g.e. Both works printed at the Mechitarist press in the Armenian monastery on the island of St. Lazarus outside Venice. In 1717 St. Lazarus was given to a group of Armenian monks that had escaped from Turkish persecution. They monks - called the Mekhitarist Order - built a monastery which started to publish a vast number of Armenian historical, philological and literary works. At first it used foreign printing houses but after a few years the community bought its own press. Ghukas Inchichian published many popular almanacs and magazines at St. Lazarus, and he is considered the main precursor of the periodical press in modern Armenian. According to Nersessian other copies of the almanac are bound with the "Flags of all nations" like our copy. A beautiful work in a lovely binding, probably produced at the monastery.
