Abstract The study of the support of three Armenian manuscripts produced in the 17th century was driven because the possibility of paper support, was considered. The Bible LA 152 and the Gospels LA 193 and LA 253 were made in the Armenian diaspora, in Crimea and Constantinople, respectively. The analytical methods were micro‑Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and micro-ATR spectroscopic imaging, which can identify the main components and their relative proportions. They proved that collagen
