"What I write about Manya Ghazarian’s work is neither a preface or a critique: it is just a remark on the occasion of the publication of this wonderful book. The historical section of the study, which contains information about the great mastery of Armenians in weaving beautiful carpets as well as rich documentary material, exerts a profound impression; and I feel like a school boy, who is taking lessons for the first time. Even those sections of this work which encompass the latest period of Armenian rug-weaving art, from the 15th to the 19th century, are full of such highly interesting facts that I find myself unable to add anything or express any criticism." –Ulrich Schurmann
