This 1972 linguistic study by D. Chkhubianishvili focuses on a highly specialized and debated topic in Kartvelian studies: the existence and nature of the infinitive in the Old Georgian language. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of medieval Georgian syntax and morphology, including the arrangement of verbal nouns (masdars) and their functional equivalents in early ecclesiastical and secular manuscripts. Published by the "Metsniereba" house under the prestigious Institute of Linguistics, this work serves as a vital primary source for documenting the evolution of the Georgian verb system from the 5th century onwards. Chkhubianishvili's research contributes to the long-standing academic dialogue regarding whether Old Georgian possessed a true infinitive or relied solely on various participial and nominal constructions. With a limited print run of only 600 copies, this volume is an essential bibliographical rarity for caucasiologists, historical linguists, and scholars of ancient Kartvelian texts, reflecting the rigorous scholarly standards of the Georgian linguistic school in the 1970s.
