A friend of the library, journalist Mark Grigoryan, donated to the National Library an old, valuable publication: «Ժողովածու գիրք. Սկիզբն գրոցս, որ կոչի Ժողովածու», printed in Constantinople by the Astvatsatur Constantinople Printing House in 1717-1718. You can also find information about the book in the NLA “Treasures of the National Library of Armenia. Rare Book” publication. https://is.gd/Yio6EE

The donated copy is an important contribution to the National Library of Armenia's collection of rare books, even though the library owns multiple copies of this edition. The donated copy is the best-maintained of the existing copies. The National Library of Armenia has digitized the book and made it available in the Armenian Book electronic database, ensuring its scholarly study and public access. https://is.gd/dlW6OR

The National Library of Armenia expresses its gratitude to Mark Grigoryan for his valuable donation aimed at preserving and enriching the national written heritage.
