From 1658 to 1660, by the decree of Hakob Jughayetsi, Catolicos of All Armenians, Matheus Tsarents founded the Holy Etchmiadzin and St. Sargis Publishing Houses in Amsterdam. Soon after, in 1664, the leadership of the publishing house was transferred to Voskan Yerevantsi.

Thanks to his efforts, the first Armenian Bible was published in 1666. The book that was used for the translation was the Biblical copy of Hetum King of Cilicia, which was written in 1295. Voskan Yerevantsi edited this text from the Latin translation of Vulgata. The Voskanian Bible publication is considered one of the best examples of historic Armenian printing.

Queens have played proactive and vital roles throughout the Armenian history. They have not only been the faithful spouses and close supporters of the kings but often their worthy advisors. Armenian wise and prudent queens were highly influential in the critical periods of the country’s history. They advocated causes such as women’s education, freedom, and equality, even in the middle ages. Additionally, they were the primary promoters of cultural values. Ardēan designed shawls with Armenian ornaments and slices from St. Gregory of Narek’s prayers to embody the spirit of our queens’ nobility and splendor.
