	Armenian Miniatures
		It is known that the manuscript underwent restoration, as a result of which the order of the miniatures in the manuscript was not retained.
		The miniatures of the manuscript present a kind of creative unity of national traditions and individual creative force, being outstanding for their monumentalism and decorative quality inherent in folk-art.
		Accepting this chronological evidence that a department of fine arts functioned at Tatev University, we may suppose that a considerable number of illuminated manuscripts were created there in the XIV - XV centuries and quite probably, Tatev had its own school of miniature painting.

	Melisende Psalter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Melisende Psalter (London, British Library, MS Egerton 1139) is an illuminated manuscript commissioned around 1135 in the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, probably by King Fulk for his wife Queen Melisende.
		The mixture of Catholic and Orthodox elements in the psalter may reflect Melisende's mixed upbringing (Baldwin was Catholic and Morphia was an Armenian of the Greek Orthodox faith).
		The exact date of the psalter, and for whom it was made, is unknown, although it is obviously made for a noble woman of the kingdom, based on the use of Byzantine styles (considered to be "aristocratic" by the crusaders), the depictions of kings, and the use of feminine word endings in the Latin prayers.

	Byzantine Studies Conference: 1983 Abstracts
		Nelson's proposal of a fourteenth century date for the Evangelist portraits is supported by evidence drawn from fourteenth century, illuminated Armenian manuscripts.
		Over thirty-three manuscripts have been associated with Sargis and a number of these provide parallels for those aspects of the Brescia portraits which are not Byzantine in character.
		Perhaps these date from the period of the repainting of the portraits as this process may have necessitated that the manuscript be taken apart, repainted and finally, rebound.
