Canon table
Artist - Hovhannes
Gospel, 1297

Plates 1 - 2. Canon tables.
The artistically decorated tables of concordance are expressed in various forms, since each painter, retaining the fundamental composition, solves the decoration in his own way. The canon tables of cod. 7482 with high extending columns on which rectangular ornaments of the canon tables rest, are tectonic and monumental. In their manner of painting and simplicity of decorative motifs, they are like Armenian miniatures of the XI - XII centuries. In the canon tables of cod. 6305 (plate 21, plate 22) specific elements of the Syuniq School of miniature painting of XIV - XV centuries dominate.
