THE HISTORY OF ARMENIAN TYPOGRAPHY IN YEREVAN MUSEUM OF TYPOGRAPHY

For NidOragir

From Yerevan, the capital of Armenia

Naira Gasparyan, PhD, YSU Associate Professor

On September 25, 2017, the National Library of Armenia, headed by Anna Chulyan (Ph.D), opened the Museum of Typography, unique in its kind in the region, presenting exhibits of the written culture created from the pre-writing period to petroglyphs and cuneiform inscriptions in its 6 halls. The museum, carries out huge scientific and educational activities. The information about the Museum of Typography is available not only on the information pages of the Armenian museum culture, but also on the information pages of the international culture.

The entire staff of the library and the manager of the museum Balasan Harutyunyan, welcome museum guests of different ages with love and willingness and help them move to the amazing world, which not only opens up interesting cognitive horizons, but also secures great aesthetic pleasure. The museum contains unique exhibits, both about the rich typography heritage, and about various printing equipment, their work and the printing work organizers. The information is so huge that at first sight it seems not to be easily memorized.

The museum works in the ordinary museum mode, participates in "museum night" events, professional guides in several languages present interesting exhibits, expensive maps printed in Europe, unique books and magazines, printed material, and often deliver their speeches and lectures using advanced technologies.

In addition to the permanent exhibition, the museum shows informative films for its visitors about the valuable museum exhibits, Armenian writing and publishing culture, among which we can mention the films "Discover Armenia", "The Way of the Armenian Book 16-18th Centuries". The latter tells us about the path to the establishment of Armenian book printing, from the Mkhitarian Congregation to St. Lazarus Venice, mentioning the year of 1512 to mark the work done by Hakob Meghapart in the field of Armenian book printing. The employees of the museum present speeches covering the path of Armenian printing with great pride. Armenian-Iranian cultural ties are presented with special care, the exhibits tell us about the works of Andre Sevrugyan, Darvish.

Within the framework of museum-school cooperation, as a museum employee said, schools are given special free tickets for multiple visits. Through cognitive tours, students discover the first printed book and magazine in Armenian, the more than 510-year history of Armenian printing, the first Bible and map, woodcut plates and clichés.

The activity of Armenian printing houses in many European cities was marked by printing books and periodicals where one could find not only works by Armenians but also high quality translations of classical works by European authors. Armenian publishing began to blossom in the heart of Europe. There appeared many publishing houses in Europe. For example, the Armenian printing house started working in Marseille in 1673, and a new printing house was founded, next to the school, as soon as some printing equipment and Armenian letters were brought from Trieste.

The world-famous map displayed in the museum was made by Armenians in Amsterdam in 1695.

At the beginning of the 18th century, the Armenian printing house in Amsterdam continued to improve the art of printing and in a short period of time until 1717, 14 publications were published, among which the "Treasure of the Aramaic Language" dedicated to the collection of the first European Armenologist Johann Joachim Schröder (1680 - 1756) is worth mentioning. In 1711, (Thesaurus linguae armenicae) the Armenian-Latin Armenian work, which is exhibited in the museum's "Diaspora of Armenian Literature" hall was published.

In many places and monasteries of Western Armenia, printing developed greatly thanks to the efforts of Armenian intellectuals and devices brought from Europe.

Equipped with new technologies, the RA Museum of Typography has become a member of the Association of European Typography Museums since 2018. It is an alternative educational interactive environment for first-graders who are just learning the alphabet, students, and those interested in the Armenian printed mind.

It should also be mentioned that the museum is of great interest to foreign students and tourists, who discover Armenia in their own way by getting to know the magnificent exhibits.
