Jeszcze o losach "Ewangeliarza ze Skewry"

Abstract

Some More Insight into the Fate of the "Skevra Evangeliary" The colophons of the Armenian manuscripts from Crimea that were recently published by Tatevik E. Sargsyan make it possible to put forward a thesis that the 12th-century evangeliary created in Skevra (Cilician Armenia), which is now held in the National Library in Warsaw, was kept in Crimea during the 15th century. At the time it belonged to Simeon, a monk from the hermitage of St. Gregory the Illuminator, next to Saint John the Baptist Church in Otuz, and was later sold in 1422 to its next owner known under the name of Khutlupek. There are no other records of this book prior to those found in Lwów (Lviv) in 1592. Its history before that year remains unknown.
