About Armenian Manuscript Folklore
Armenian Manuscript Folklore distills the Cilician illumination of Toros Roslin — the 13th-century master of the Hromkla scriptorium. Jewel-tone tempera miniatures, gold uncials, and gold-leaf halos are worked over a saturated lapis-lazuli ground in the khorans, the arcaded canon tables.
Vermilion red and natural ultramarine carry the figures and bird-letter ornament; pomegranate motifs and fine Cilician detail fill every frame. The page is the deep lapis field, never bare parchment — a saturated ground that makes gold and cinnabar glow.
