This is a museum-grade reproduction of a map of Armenia as per the Ashkharhatsuyts printed in St. Lazzaro in 1751. As evident form the title, the cartographer has used the text of the seventh century geography book for reconstructing the map of Armenia of the time. Some Armenian medieval manuscripts include T-O-type and climatic zone maps of the world, bearing the influence of Christian and Islamic cartography. These form part and parcel of the development of Armenian cartography, which led to the printed maps of the seventeenth century. The oldest circular map in Armenian dates from the thirteenth to fourteenth century. This is a T-O map, with all the attributes of this type of maps. The original map is kept in Matenadaran, bound in a manuscript from Kaffa (Theodosia) of Crimea.
