Parchment folio from a Gospel book written and illuminated c. 1536 in the Suynik' province of Armenia for Esayi the 'great vardapet' (abbot). On the recto, Jesus performs the miracle of the Raising of Lazarus from the dead, as a young man unwraps the shroud. Jesus is attended by nine of his disciples and Mary and Martha, sisters of Lazarus, embrace his feet. On the verso, Jesus rides a donkey into the gates of the city, followed by nine of his disciples. A young boy spreads a cloak along his path, and another cuts a branch from a palm tree. The paintings were mounted in a paper frame in the mid-twentieth century.
