Abstract
Professor Sanjian is the author of the exhibition catalogue, Celebrating the Legacy of Five Centuries of Armenian-Language Book Printing. The 2012 exhibition at the Alex and Marie Manoogian Museum (Southfield, Michigan) was organized to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the first Armenian-language books were published through presses throughout Europe and western Asia as early as 1512. Armenian was one of the earliest languages in the world in which books were printed. This exhibition showed the diversity of where Armenian-language books were printed and the global reach of the Armenian people.
