Summary/Abstract: Among the well known treasures in the Teleki-Bolyai Library, there are also several books, so far not studied, which deserve to be taken into account because they refer to a minority, the Armenians.There are 8 works studied, 4 of them are fully/partially written with the letters and in the Armenian language, while the other 4 belonged to an Armenian owner. A significant personality owning such books was the first bishop of the Catholic Armenians in Transylvania, Oxendio Verzelescul.
