Summary

THE WRITER AND MINIATURIST YEREMIA OSHAKANTSI AND HIS EPITAPH

Arsen E. Harutyunyan

The writer and miniaturist of the 18th century Yeremia archbishop Os-hakantsi is buried in the monastic cemetery of St. Echmiatsin. His prolific ac-tivity was particularly remarkable during the reign of the Catholicos Simeon Yerevantsi (1763-1780), as it is also evidenced by the epitaph.

Some manuscripts painted by him are kept in the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts Matenadaran (N 1056, 1817, 2646, 2891, 2892, 10677). These were studied by art specialist A. Gevorgyan. The miniatures of Yeremia Oshakantsi are especially distinguished by their painting peculiarities: here the bright colors and gold are predominant.

The data about Yeremia Oshakantsi is preserved in the publications of Maghakia archbishop Ormanyan and Gyut senior priest Aghanyants. The epi-taph, which is represented in this article, accomplishes and verifies the existing facts about his life and manuscript activity.
