294 Journal of the Asiatic Soc. of Bengal. [N.S., XIX, 1923.] 
regards the merits of the Manuscript before us. Its calligra- 
phy and penmanship, i in which great skill and artistic taste have 
been displayed, is simply perfect, whilst the language in which 
the translation is made—and this is classical Armenian—is not 
only elegant but sublime and can vie with the beautiful and 
unrivalled style of the best classical Armenian writers and 
translators of the fifth century—the Golden Age of Armenian 
literature. 
e may therefore, indeed, congratulate Her Highness the 
Begum of Bhopal for having secured such a valuable treasure.
