Matenadaran hosted the presentation of the “Books in Honey” project, through which SLOVO Publishing House donated to Matenadaran a copy of the “Matenadaran” volume from its “The World’s Greatest Museums” series, immersed in acacia honey.
Exceptional in its scope and coverage, this publication brings together the rich treasures of Armenian manuscript heritage and, through this project, has acquired a new symbolic form of preservation.
Speakers at the event included Vahe Torosyan, Deputy Director for Research at Matenadaran; Grigori Yeritsyan, Founder of SLOVO Publishing House; Natalya Avetisyan, Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of the publishing house; Edda Vardanyan, Project Lead at Matenadaran; and journalist and columnist Mark Grigoryan.
