A Grammar of the Italian Language In Armenian and in Turkish in Armenian characters.

Scholar Haig Utidjian noted that, “Literally ‘Grammar of the Tuscan tongue’!”

Scholar Sebouh Aslanian commented, “It is interesting that this is not the only Armenian-Italian language book printed in the early modern period. The other work I have in mind is the lesser known Բառ Գիրգ [Sic!] Տալիանի [Dictionary of Italian] published by Michelangelo Barboni published in Venice, probably in 1680-1684, for use by merchants. This volume is not included in the celebrated Voskanyan et al. catalog in 1988. Kévorkian’s Catalogue des “incunables” arméniens (1511–1695) ou chronique de l’imprimerie arménienne. Geneva: Patrick Cramer, 1986, 146 is the only catalog that mentions it. Alessandro Orengo (“Il ԲԱՌ ԳԻՐԳ ՏԱԼԻԱՆԻ Un dizionario armeno-italiano del XVII secolo”, 2019, seems to be the only study of it. Only one copy appears to have survived and that miraculously since it was rescued from the great fire that burned down parts of the library in San Lazzaro in 1975. Of interest to linguists is the fact that this is a dictionary of words between two dialects and not languages per se. The Italian is apparently Venetian dialect (according to Kévorkian, 146) and the Armenian appears to have Persian/Turkish words mostly present in Julfa dialect.”
