book in 1901-1920" literature covers the biography of 7600 Armenian
books, including books written in Armenian, as well as foreign ones
including Armenian extracts, published in different countries of the
world. The launching of this book was held in the National Library
of Armenia on November 27. This bibliographical collection of the
Armenian book published in 1901-1920 sums up the pre-soviet stage
of the history of the Armenian printing. This work is envisaged for
specialists studying the history of the Armenian book, philologists,
and historians.

primary goal of bibliography is to clear up the factual existence
of the book, making use of other bibliographies and catalogues, to
summerize and introduce the complete picture of the Armenian book
published in a certain period, correct the misprintings founded in
previous bibliographies and catalogues, to present the printing houses,
which have published the books, and their location, record the state
of their preservedness and their current location, and in case of
literature in translation to mention the language, the author and
translator of the origin. The fourth volume consists of four sections
and five tables of contents.
According to the editor of the volume, this very volume of the
bibliography of the Armenian book was ready to be published as early
as three years ago, however, it was published only this year due to
state order. The preparation work of the volume laster over 7 years
and it is a result of the hard work of a group of devoted bibliographs.

section of the library are already working at the next volumes and
hope that another volume of the work will be published by 2012:
the 500th anniversary of the printing of the Armenian book.
It should be mentioned that as early as in 1958 as a result of the
work performed in the direction of gathering materials in the section
of bibliography of the Armenian book, the previous three volumes,
dedicated to the Armenian book published during the periods of
1512-1800, 1801-1850, 1851-1900 have been printed by now.
