Son of Zakaria Gabashvili, tutor to King Teimuraz II, Besiki was raised and educated within the royal court and became a favorite of King Erekle II's circle, celebrated for his refined, sensuous love lyrics — most famously those addressed to Queen Anna, consort of the Imeretian throne, portrayed here in an inserted illustrated plate — as well as panegyric odes and virtuosic experiments in verse form (acrostics, alphabetic poems). He later pursued a diplomatic career on behalf of the Georgian crown and died in Iași, in the Principality of Moldavia, while on a mission connected with the Russo-Turkish war. This edition represents the standard twentieth-century critical text of Besiki's poetry, established by the literary historian Alexander Baramidze together with the linguist Varlam Topuria.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44534138306602,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_7250_bb6fb90d-9785-4c54-950f-bfcf6839cf1b.jpg?v=1783279755","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/gabashvili-besarion-besiki-complete-collection-of-works-text-study-notes-dictionary-tkhzulebata-sruli-krebuli-1932-in-georgian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
