Matenadaran - The Museum of Ancient Manuscripts

Matenadaran- The Museum of Ancient Handwritten Publications is an eye-opener for me today. Let me introduce the originator of the world publications Johannes Gutenberg( Figure 3). He was the German who first used mobile publications in 1439. So all the publications before that were copied by hand and written by hand. Here I see that the earliest publications preserved were handwritten in the 5th century AD. (Figure 4).

Matenadaran is actually very big. Has several venues with ancient manuscripts and books from all over the world 📖 But that’s not all, more precious ones are kept away in the storage. Also they have restoration halls, tour there is very interesting! You’ll need about 2 hour for the whole tour. There are bilingual guides who will introduce you everything.
