/mtd-gr-05-m.jpg "The treatment of the khoran is somewhat unusual. The space within the framework, instead of containing the text of the letter of Eusebius or the Canon tables, is filled with an ornamental pattern of crescent-shaped, pointed and swirling leaves. The pattern is similar to those used in the Moush Homilarium and in the 1201 Gospels and is also evocative of the wall reliefs in the monastery of Airivank where the manuscript was produced.�Behandlingen av khoranen är något ovanligt. Utrymmet mellan ramverket, istället för att omfatta texten hos brevet från Eusebius eller texten för kanonskriften, är fylld med ett utsmyckningsmönster av halvmånsformade, spetsiga och virvlande löv. Mönstret är likt de som använts i Moush homilarium och i 1201 års Evangelium och påminner även om väggrelieferna i klostret Airivank där manuskriptet porducerades.")

/mtd-gr-08-m.jpg "The highly expressive character of Grigor's miniatures is mainly due to their original colouring. The artist uses combinations of deep, dark, sometimes shimmering shades. The intensity of colour gives a dramatic quality to the Gospel scenes. This also applies to Grigor's interpretation of The Annunciation, usually treated as a happy and joyous scene: apart from the colouring, the dramatic effect of the miniature is heightened by the expression of anxiety on the faces of Mary and the archangel.�Den högst uttryckliga karaktären hos Grigors miniatyrer är huvudsakligen på grund av deras originella färgsättning. Konstnären använder kombinationer av djupa, mörka, ibland skimrande nyanser. Intensiteten hos färgerna ger en dramatisk kavalitet till evengelits scener. Detta berör även Grigors tolkning av Bebådelsen, vanilgtvis återgiven som en glad och fröjdfull scen: förutom färgsättningen är de dramatiska effekterna i miniatyren nyanserde med uttrycken av ängslighet i Marias och ärkeängelns ansikte.")

/mtd-cil-95-m.jpg "Although the motif of The Last Judgement occurred frequently in early Armenian frescoes, it did not appear in illuminated manuscripts until the thirteenth century when it was taken up by Cilician book illustrators, Toros Roslin among them. In the Malatian Gospels we find a concise version of the scene treated in a grand and solemn manner, which is manifest in the strict symmetry of the composition. The three principal figures are supported by the subsidiary groups creating a rhythmical pattern. The dramatic element is enhanced by the colouring based on dense saturated tones.�Även om motivet för Yttersta domen förekom ofta i tidiga armeniska freskomåleri dök det inte upp i illustrerade manuskript förrän 1200-talet när det upptogs av kilikiska båkmålare, bl.a. Toros Roslin. I de malatianska evangelierna hittar vi en kortfattad version av scenen, behandlad i en storartad och högtidlig manér, vilket framgår i den strikta symmetrin hos kompositionen. De tre huvudfigurerna stöds av de andra grupperna som skapar ett rytmiskt mönster. Det dramatiska elementet förstärks av färgsättningen baserad på de tätta mättade tonerna.")

/mtd-gr-18-m.jpg "The scene depicts the visit of the Virgin Mary to her cousin Elizabeth, just after the Annunciation. The decor of the folio is characterized by a balance and harmony between the text, on the one hand, and the miniature and marginal ornamentation, on the other, as well as by a delicacy of linear treatment, by a softness of colouring and elegance of representation.�Scenen avbildar Jungfru Marias besök hos hennes kusin Elizabeth, starx efter bebådelsen. Sidans dekor kännetecknas av en balans och harmoni mellan, å ena sidan, texten och miniatyren och marginala utsmyckningen på den andra, så väl som av en delikat linjär behandling genom mjukheten hos färgsättningen och elegansen av representationen")

/mtd-cil-122-m.jpg "The folio presents an interesting example of a miniature incorporated into the text: the absence of usual framing and the elements of architectural background overlapping the written lines emphasize the unity of text and illustration, less apparent in the case of the full-page miniatures. The horizontal composition allows for a free and unrestrained arrangement of the figures, which, in its turn, contributes to the mood of concentration and tranquillity permeating the scene. The soft, somewhat restrained colouring composed of pink, blue, pale lilac, violet and light green shades enhances this effect.<br>In presenting the Disciples as listening to their Teacher the artist obviously sought to capture their different reaction to Christ's words, their different manner of listening, thus making a bold, if only tentative attempt at individualization.�")
