About the Book

English summary: The Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts in Yerevan, Armenia, has been included in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register since 1997 and holds the world's largest collection of Armenian manuscripts, among them a considerable number of gospel books with precious silver metalwork bindings. These codices may often be only small, yet feature treasure bindings. The multitude of metalwork bindings, from closures to decorative and iconographic-sculptural elements, and their careful workmanship are amazing. Surprisingly, this Armenian cultural heritage has, with few exceptions, remained practically unknown among European experts, even though the Armenians were the first people to adopt Christianity in 301 as their state religion and began spreading their belief in written form in the 5th century. Based on a selection of almost 80 objects, the authors document the restoration of damaged or lost metalwork performed on more than 200 bindings since 2001. By that they provide a comprehensive insight of historic Armenian bindings, particularly their own varied and abundant metalwork. According to the technical appearance and workmanship of the metalwork on the covers they developed a principle of arrangement for the variety to be classified. An elaboration on the various closure systems and their development emphasizes this variety and recognizes the Armenian gold- and silversmiths' expert workmanship. The authors also provide a richly illustrated glossary of the terminology used in restoration to facilitate understanding and to support general discussions about the restoration of metalwork bindings. This publication is an expert presentation based on the authors' extensive practical experience with book restoration. It unlocks a largely unknown aspect of Armenia's cultural heritage. In addition, it may be a source of inspiration and a treasure trove for preservation experts (museums, libraries, archives, restorers, etc.) and lovers of historical books. German description: Das Matenadaran - Mesrop-Mashtotz-Institut fur Alte Handschriften in Yerevan /Armenien - ist seit 1997 UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe Es beherbergt die weltweit grosste Sammlung armenischer Handschriften, darunter eine grosse Anzahl von Codices mit silberbeschlagenen Einbanden, die trotz ihrer haufig auffallend kleinen Formate Prachteinbande sind. Die Vielfalt der Beschlage und deren sorgfaltige handwerkliche Ausfuhrung - sowohl der Klausuren als auch der dekorativen und ikonographisch bildnerischen Ausstattung - sind bemerkenswert. Die Armenier haben als erstes Volk schon im Jahr 301 n. Chr. den christlichen Glauben als Staatsreligion angenommen und seit dem 5. Jahrhundert im Schrifttum verbreitet. Trotzdem ist dieses Kulturgut in europaischen Fachkreisen mit wenigen Ausnahmen nahezu unbekannt geblieben. Margret Jaschke und Robert Stahle geben einen umfassenden Uberblick uber die historische armenische Einbandkunst, speziell uber die verschiedenen Beschlagsarten und ihre Reichhaltigkeit. Das Buch ist systematisch gegliedert nach der handwerklich-technischen Beschaffenheit der Beschlage an den jeweiligen vorderen Einbanddeckeln der Handschriften. Ein Exkurs zu den unterschiedlichen Verschlusssystemen und deren Entwicklung unterstreicht die Vielfalt und wurdigt die handwerkliche Meisterschaft der armenischen Gold- und Silberschmiede. Mit einer Auswahl von 70 Objekten dokumentieren die Autoren die Instandsetzung schadhafter oder verloren gegangener Beschlage, die sie seit 2001 an uber 200 Einbanden vorgenommen haben. Sie halten sich dabei prinzipiell an die weltweit akzeptierten Grundsatze der Restaurierethik. Ihre Auftraggeber wunschen jedoch auch, dass die ursprungliche Pracht der Bucher weitgehend wieder hergestellt wird. Sie sehen das wertvolle Kulturgut nicht in erster Linie als Forschungsobjekt der Entwicklung des armenischen Schrifttums und der Buchkunst. Bucher werden in Armenien allgemein sehr wertgeschatzt und mit viel Ehrerbietung behandelt. Ihre Ausstattung soll dem Evangelium als Wort Gottes angemessen sein. Ein ausfuhrliches bebildertes Glossar zu den Fachausdrucken, die bei der Beschreibung der Instandsetzungen verwendet werden, erleichtert nicht nur das Verstandnis, sondern leistet auch einen wichtigen Beitrag zur sprachlichen Vereinheitlichung und Verstandigung uber die Restaurierung von Metallbeschlagen. Die Veroffentlichung ist eine Fundgrube fur Fachleute der Bestandserhaltung in Museen, Bibliotheken, Archiven - fur Restauratoren und Archivare ebenso wie fur Liebhaber historischer Bucher. Sie stellt die tatsachlich durchgefuhrten praktischen Arbeiten authentisch dar, erschliesst einen bislang weitgehend unbekannten Aspekt armenischen Kulturgutes und bietet daruber hinaus viele wertvolle Anregungen.
