In the 1930s, the Library of Congress acquired calligraphy sheets taken from Armenian manuscripts, mostly from the seventeenth century. Among them are several large leaves from an illustrated Armenian synaxary, a work that presents the daily festival days of the saints. Although this illumination depicts St. George and the dragon (with the saint’s visage defaced), the text, taken from The History of Taron, says it is for “the Festival of St. John the Karapet, as established by St. Gregory.”
