Video Title:
The Art of Armenian Calligraphy with Ruben Malayan
Description:
The earliest forms of Armenian calligraphy exist in illuminated Christian manuscripts. The alphabet, developed by linguist and ecclesiastical leader Mesrop Mashtots in 405 CE, allowed for both the recording and dissemination of theology to Armenians.

In 2018, he demonstrated his artistry to an eager audience on the National Mall for the "Armenia: Creating Home" program at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival.
