The colophon at the end of the Armenian text (p. 504) was composed by Sult’anshah T’okhatetsi (Marc Antoine Abgarean) who while in Rome contributed to the publication of the Gregorian Calendar in 1584 [Տօմար Գրիգորեան ]. The colophon is dated in the year of the Lord ՌՇՁԶ [i.e. 1586].

Note
Woodcut printer's device on final colophon leaf with hedgehog and motto "Mordentes sauciabuntur"; initials; head-pieces.
Note
Woodcut illustrations on p. [490]: portraits of St Peter and St Paul, and two biblical scenes in small squares. Voskanyan Ninel in his Armenian book in the 1512-1899 [Հայ գիրքը 1512-1800 թվականներին] suggests mistakenly that the portraits represent St Bartholomew and St Thaddeus, the two Apostles who preached Christianity in Armenia.
