The Holov in question is Armenian Catholic vardapet Hovhannes Holov, originally of Constantinople and later based in Venice. This anecdote concerns his 1687 Commentary on the Psalms, which is considered the first publication of religious writing in ashkharabar, i.e. modern Armenian (or, according to Leo, at least what may be considered as rudimentarily fitting the bill, still retaining the overall structure of grabar).
