Sometime between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the manuscript went from the village of Furnus to Zeytun, a town cradled by the Taurus Mountains, due to Furnus being destroyed. The use of the name Zeytun was first documented in 1536 from a copied manuscript titled the Zeytun Citadel and in 1545 was first inscribed in the town of Zeytun itself. The manuscript was rebound during the seventeenth century, keeping the original gold crucifix and medallions. Armenian bookbinding changed very little between the fourteenth through the eighteenth centuries. The Armenian language dictated which side manuscripts were bound. The language is read from left to right, so the manuscripts were bound on the left.
