St._Eusebius_T'oros_Roslin_Gospels.png


Summary

Description
English: (info paraphrased from the Walters Art Gallery description of the portrait) This is fol. 1v from the T'oros Roslin Gospel Manuscript of 1262, created by the famous Armenian illuminator T'oros Roslin for the hermitage of Ark'akaghin in Cilicia. Said priest was the nephew of the Armenian Catholicos Constantine I. The inscription around Eusebius states his name and the letter he is holding reads "Eusebius to his brother Carpanius," who is featured on the opposite page. The manuscript was acquired by Henry Walters in Paris, 1929, and remained in his possession at his New York residence until his death; therefore not included in the 1931 bequest to the Walters Art Gallery. It remains as part of the Walters Art Gallery to this day and is available as well in their digital archives.
