On Thursday, February 6, Dr. Heghnar Zeitlian Watenpaugh, Professor of Art History at the University of California, Davis, presented her book, The Missing Pages at the Burlingame Public Library at 6:00 pm.
The audience of Armenians and non Armenians enjoyed Dr. Heghnar’s explanation about the journey of this particular stolen Armenian heritage and the historical background specifics of the Zeytun Gospels, the dismembered manuscript that was lost, looted and had missing pages during the Armenian genocide campaign that began in 1915 .
The illustrated manuscript containing the Gospels rests in an archive in Yerevan, Armenia, while eight missing pages of canon tables-concordance lists of related biblical passages are housed at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
The missing canon tables were the subject of a 2010 lawsuit initiated by the Armenian Western Prelacy against the Getty Museum in Los Angeles over ownership of stolen Armenian heritage.
