That's the library stamp we used in the old days - featuring a thriving banyan tree. It's based on the design by Thomas
and William Daniell who also designed the Society's iconic elephant emblem!

@ricciinstitutelib.bsky.social A few more photos from our scroll, Shizi chongxun 十字寵勳. We have since found out that a similar scroll was printed at the T'ou-sè-wè 土家灣 orphanage in Shanghai in 1929. This reproduction has not allowed us to determine with certainty that they are identical.

Was wondering about that interesting-looking round stamp (facing the title page, see ~ 0:03 in the video) for a moment -- but as it turns out it simply belongs to the RAS. Makes sense. 🤓

My first exposure to these aviform 🐦 Armenian letters was through this splendid plate in Andreas Müller's Alphabeta ac notae (published in 1703, but with a lot of material that probably dates from the 1680s). 🤓
