The following is a list—not exhaustive—of the oldest known codices of the Armenian Gospels, or “Avetaran”:— 1. In the Library of the Lazareffski Institute in Moscow, written in large uncials on parchment, dated in the year 336 of the Armenian era = A.D. 887. Size, 37.75 × 28 cent.; 229 folios. 2. In the Library of the Mechitarists in the island of San Lazaro, in Venice, an uncial codex, on parchment, written in the year 351 of the Armenian era = A.D. 902. 3. In the same Library, on parchment, in large uncials, dated 1006. 4. In the same Library, in large uncials, on parchment, undated, but evidently older than No. 2. 5. In the Patriarchal Library of Edschmiadzin in Russian Armenia, No. 222 of the printed catalogue of Jacob Kareneantz (Tiflis, 1863). This book is bound in ivory covers, carved, as it would seem, in the Ravennese style in the fifth or sixth century. In large uncials, on parchment, written A.D. 989. 6. In the same Library is No. 223, an uncially written parchment codex. The earliest of the colophons dates from A.D. 1260 and is in majuscule, but the codex itself seems to be at least two centuries and a half earlier. 7. In the same Library, No. 229, written in miniscule, on parchment, A.D. 1035. 8, 9. In the same Library, Nos. 224, 225, in large uncials, on parchment, presumably as old as the eleventh century, but undated. 10. In Tiflis, in an Armenian church. In large uncials, on parchment. Undated, but certainly prior to A.D. 1000. 11. In the Library of the British Museum, in large uncials, on parchment, undated. Probably of the ninth century, but not after the tenth, according to Dr. Baronean, author of the British Museum Catalogue. 12. In Karin or Erzeroum, in large uncials, on parchment. Dated A.D. 986. 13. In the Library of the Fathers of St. Anthony, in Constantinople. Dated A.D. 960. 14. In the island monastery of Sevan, on the lake of that name in Russian Armenia. In large uncials, on parchment. Written during primacy of Vahan, _circa_ A.D. 966. 15. In uncials, on parchment; written in Macedonia, under the Emperor Basil, A.D. 1011.

Codex Bombyc, litteris uncialibus scriptus. 17. In the same Library, Cod. Arm. VIII. Membranaceus, litteris uncialibus scriptus. (3) The Ethiopic Version (Eth.).
