Matenadaran to compile new edition of Zmmar monastery manuscripts

As part of a cooperation between the Armenian institute of ancient manuscripts (Matenadaran) and the monastery of Zmmar, Lebanon,  a delegation of Armenian specialists have now headed to the country to continue the research of manuscripts at the sacred place.

Thanks to earlier work at the monastery, the preliminary descriptions and digital copies of 489 manuscripts are now fully ready to be complied into big volume of manuscript records,

Speaking to the state news agency Armenpress, sources from the Matenadarn said that the available records provide a sufficient material for compiling the edition and handing it over for printing in 2016.
