T'oros Roslin Gospels, Nativity, and the Adoration of the shepherds, This manuscript was made in 1262 by Toros Roslin, an extremely prominent illuminator, who extended the range of manuscript illuminations by introducing a whole cycle of images into the gospels rather than, as was traditional, only including the portraits of the evangelists. This particular manuscript was created at the scriptorium of Hromkla, which became the leading artistic center of Armenian Cilicia under the rule of catholicos Constantine I (1221-1267).Toros created this manuscript under commission from the nephew of Constantine, a priest also named Toros. It is one of seven known manuscripts bearing Toros Roslins signature, and it is the most sumptuous of them all, with 15 miniatures and 67 smaller illustrations. The style of the images suggests that Toros had several assistants helping with the illustrations, though the overall quality remains extremely high. The manuscript was long cherished within the Armenian church. Even in the seventeenth century, its illumination served as a model for Armenian scribes, particularly Bargham and his son Mikayel; in the latter manuscript, Mikayel explicitly refers to 'the excellent scribe Toros, surnamed Roslin.'.

Descripción:
Traducción automática: Evangelios, Natividad y Adoración de los pastores de T'oros Roslin. Este manuscrito fue realizado en 1262 por Toros Roslin, un iluminador muy destacado que amplió la gama de iluminaciones de manuscritos al introducir un ciclo completo de imágenes en los evangelios en lugar de, como era tradicional, incluir solo los retratos de los evangelistas. Este manuscrito en particular fue creado en el scriptorium de Hromkla, que se convirtió en el principal centro artístico de la Cilicia armenia bajo el gobierno del católico Constantino I (1221-1267). Toros creó este manuscrito por encargo del sobrino de Constantino, un sacerdote también llamado Toros. Es uno de los siete manuscritos conocidos que llevan la firma de Toros Roslin y es el más suntuoso de todos, con 15 miniaturas y 67 ilustraciones más pequeñas. El estilo de las imágenes sugiere que Toros tenía varios asistentes que ayudaban con las ilustraciones, aunque la calidad general sigue siendo extremadamente alta. El manuscrito fue apreciado durante mucho tiempo dentro de la iglesia armenia. Incluso en el siglo XVII, su iluminación sirvió de modelo para los escribas armenios, particularmente Bargham y su hijo Mikayel; en este último manuscrito, Mikayel se refiere explícitamente al "excelente escriba Toros, de apellido Roslin".
