Commentary on Isaiah
Not on view
T‘oros the deacon added the image of Esayi Nch‘ets‘i, the director of Gladzor, and his students to this work brought to Greater Armenia from Cilicia. Divine inspiration strikes the seated Esayi at the upper left, as his pupils listen. The painter, who also illuminated the 1311 Gospel Book on view nearby, kneels at the bottom of the page. The manuscript represents connections between two major Armenian intellectual centers in the early fourteenth century.
