[First Edition] Knnakan kerakanutiwn ashkharhabar kam...

334, 502 pages : 19 cm. In Armenian. Translation of the title into Latin is written in pen on end papers. 'Aydinian's biggest achievement was Knnakan kerakanutiwn ashkharhabar kam ardi hayeren lezvi (Critical grammar of the vernacular or modern Armenian language), published in 1866. It remains a highly important achievement in Armenian linguistics till this day. This book was especially significant due to the fact that the Armenian people at large were demanding the use of a more vernacular language in the literature and arts. This was a breakthrough since Classical Armenian was the language mainly associated with priesthood and high-ranked members of society.'
