This substantial philological study is the work of Ivane Gigineishvili, a prominent Georgian scholar dedicated to the analysis of the national literary masterpiece, "The Knight in the Panther's Skin" (Vepkhistqaosani) by Shota Rustaveli. Published in 1975 by the Georgian Academy of Sciences publishing house "Metsniereba", the book represents a high point of Soviet-era Georgian textual scholarship. Gigineishvili meticulously examines the poem's language, historical context, and manuscript tradition, addressing complex issues of textual criticism. A copy bearing the author's autograph adds significant personal and scholarly provenance, making it a valuable item for specialists in Georgian literature, comparative philology, and the history of the medieval epic.
