Document Date: 0-Illustrations to the vision stories first appeared in Armenian miniature painting towards the end of the thirteenth century and later became a traditional part of the Gospel cycle. In their treatment of these subjects the artists, although mainly relying upon the iconographic canon, sometimes offered their own interpretation. The artist imitated the models which were in wide use at the time in Armenian book illumination.�Illustrationer av visionberättelser dyker först upp i den armeniska miniatyrmålningen vid slutet av 1200-talet och blev senare en traditionell del av Evangelium-cykel. I sin behandling av dessa ämnen, trots huvudsaklig beroende av de ikonografiska kanonen, erbjöd konstnärerna ibland sina egna tolkningar. Konstnären imiterade modellerna som vid denna tid användes i omfattande utsträckning i armenisk bokmålning.-1362�

Nr of Pages: Basil the Great�
Document Date: 0-The manuscript opens with a portrait of one of the Fathers of the Church who was traditionally believed to be the author of the Lectionary. The full-length representation in an upright attitude is apparently derived from the Byzantine tradition of portraying saints, while the ornamentation of the wide frame surrounding the figure reflects a typically Oriental taste for excessive decoration. The frame, apart from its purely decorative role, performs the important function of creating a visual link between the human figure and the marginal decor of the page, thus uniting the pictorial and decorative principles of illumination. The skilfully applied shading enabled the artist to achieve perfection in the rendering of facial expression.�-1286�

Document Nr.: Karapet�Karapet�Arakel and Kirakos�Arakel och Kirakos
Document Type: The colophon of the Lectionary mentions the name of only one illuminator of the manuscript - Arakel. But comparison with a stylistically related manuscript signed by Kirakos (Venice, Mkhitarist Library, Monastery of St. Lazarus, MS904) seems to prove the latter's participation in illustrating the Crimean Lectionary.�Kolofonen hos evangelieboken nämner namnet för endast en målare, Arakel. Men jämförelse med ett stilistiskt relaterat manuskript signerat av Kirakos (Venedig, Mkhitaristbiblioteket, S:t Lazarus kloster, MS904) vekar bevisa att den senares deltagande i målningen av krimiska evangelieboken.
Nr of Pages: The Ascension�Kristi himmelsfärd
Document Date: 0-The scene is treated in accordance with the well-known canonical scheme. As far as the manner of representation is concerned, the artist combines two different artistic principles: while the treatment of the faces and hands betrays an attempt at rendering the effect of volume, the folds of the garments and the background remain somewhat schematic. Such dual character of representation was on the whole characteristic of the Crimean miniature.�Scenen är behandlad i enlighet med det välkända kanoniska schemat. Vad det gäller sättet hos representatioen kombinerar konstnären två olika konstnärliga principer: medan behandlingen av ansikten och händer avslöjar ett försök att återge effekten av volym, förblir väcken hos kläderna och bakgrunden återblir rätt schematiska. Liknande dualistiska karaktärer hos representationen var i det hela kännetecknande för den krimiska miniatyren.-1356�

Document Type: The illumination of this Lectionary is in many ways similar to that of the 1365 manuscript and was probably done by the same masters - Arakel and Kirakos.�Målningen hos denna evangeliebok är på många sätt lik den hos 1365 års manuskript och var förmodligen utfört av samma mästare: Arakel och Kirakos.

Document Date: 0-The decor of the folio, obviously inspired by Cilician models, bears the mark of the Crimean artist's own manner: the ornamental forms are more generalized than their Cilician counterparts, the use of gold is more sparing, and the background is dark blue. The most remarkable feature of the decor is undoubtedly the treatment of the ornate initial, based on the motif of The Adoration of the Shepherds and composed of the figures of three shepherds, one blowing a pipe, the second carrying a sacrificial lamb, and the third about to perform the rite.�Dekoren hos sidan, uppenbarligen inspirerade av kilikiska modeller, bär den krimiska konstnärens egna märken: de dekorativa formerna är mer generaliserade än kilikiska exemplar, användningen av guld är mer sparsamt och bakgrunden är mörkblå. Det mest anmärkningsvärda draget hos dekoren är utan tvekan behandlingen av den utsmyckade initialen, baserad på motiv av Herdarnas tillbedjan och komponerad av de tre herdarnas figurer, en som blåser en pipa, den andre bärande ett offerlamm och en tredje på väg att utföra en ritual.-1360�
