American Sacred Songs (Translated into the Armenian Language)
- Original wraps
- Venice: St. Lazarus Press, 1874
Venice: St. Lazarus Press, 1874. Original wraps. Very Good +. The 1874 1st edition of this very scarce collection of American sacred songs, each translated into Armenian ("one of the ancient languages of the old world"). Clean and VG+ to Near Fine in its light-purple wrappers, with mild lighening along the spine. The original text, in English, at each recto, its Armenian translation to each facing verso. 16mo, a number of the signatures (maybe half or more) uncut. A wonderful piece of mid to late 19th century Americana -- and Armeniana.
