GENERAL COMMENTS
A brief history of the Saint Jean-Baptiste (St. John the Baptist) Armenian Apostolic Cathedral in Paris, France (pages 2-12). While it is not a full history of the Armenians in France (it begins in 1854 when "la petite colonie arménienne de Paris" received governmental permission to have their own chapel), it presents many important figures in the overall history of Armenians in France. Followed by a broader introduction to the Armenian Apostolic Church (13-31). In French with many images, mostly reproductions of photographs.
