The Calligraphy of Parseg Kashishian
Discover the inspiring story of Parseg Kashishian, whose lifelong dream began at the age of 12 when he envisioned one day handwriting the Armenian Bible. At 58, he began turning that dream into reality through the ancient art of Armenian calligraphy, dedicating approximately 25 hours to each page. We are honored to have in our collection five of Kashishian's handcrafted volumes, including his masterpiece, the Mashtots Bible. Each book features exquisite calligraphy and traditional Armenian silver covers created by master silversmiths.
