Its exceptional academic value is guaranteed by the editorship of the preeminent Georgian linguist, Akaki Shanidze (1887-1987), a founder of modern Kartvelian studies. Published by \"Ganatleba\" in Tbilisi, this textbook serves as a practical key to deciphering medieval Georgian manuscripts (Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri scripts) and historical inscriptions. It systematically presents the alphabet, ligatures, and paleographic features, bridging the gap between contemporary readers and Georgia's rich written heritage. As a concise yet authoritative manual, it remains a fundamental resource for anyone engaging with original sources of Georgian history, literature, and art, representing a classic work of late Soviet Georgian scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43962989314090,"sku":"EB-306512622149","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_d2208fda-7a05-4449-aae1-0513aeae8996.jpg?v=1768159671","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/basilashvili-old-georgian-alphabet-1973-ancient-script-%e1%83%ab%e1%83%95%e1%83%94%e1%83%9a%e1%83%98-%e1%83%a5%e1%83%90%e1%83%a0%e1%83%97%e1%83%a3%e1%83%9a%e1%83%98-%e1%83%90%e1%83%9c%e1%83%91%e1%83%90%e1%83%9c%e1%83%98","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
