Hardcover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1942 edition of \"Tamariani\" is a remarkable wartime publication of one of the most significant monuments of the Georgian Golden Age. Composed by the 12th-century poet Chakhrukhadze, the text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the panegyric genre, including the arrangement of twenty-two odes praising the virtues and reign of Queen Tamar the Great. This specific volume features the masterly Russian translation by the philosopher and scholar Shalva Nutsubidze, who successfully conveyed the intricate \"Chakhrukhuli\" meter—a complex rhyming scheme unique to this work.  Edited by the prominent Byzantinist Simon Kaukhchishvili and illustrated with stylistic headpieces and tailpieces by S. Ketkhoveli, the book stands as a testament to the preservation of national culture during the hardships of World War II. As a vital primary source, this volume documents the transition of medieval Georgian poetic standards into the Russian literary consciousness. Published by Tbilisi University in a limited run of 4800 copies, this small-format hardcover is a significant bibliographical rarity for caucasiologists, collectors of medieval poetry, and those interested in the history of the Tbilisi academic school.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44119560388650,"sku":"BOOK-CHATAM-79NA","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_8782.jpg?v=1771873991","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/chakhrukhadze-tamariani-trans-by-shalva-nutsubidze-illus-by-s-ketkhoveli-1942-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
