Domenti Mshvenieradze.
Technical Lexical Materials in Georgian Written Monuments: According to S. Orbeliani's "Sitqvis Kona" and Other Monuments.
Tbilisi : Georgian Polytechnic Institute Publishing House, 1961.
162 pp. ; 20 cm. Hardcover. Edition of 5,000 copies. In Georgian.

This 1961 linguistic and historical study by Domenti Mshvenieradze is a pioneering work in the field of Georgian paleography and the history of technology. Published by the Georgian Polytechnic Institute, the text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of medieval and early modern Georgian terminology, including the arrangement of technical vocabularies related to craftsmanship, construction, agriculture, and metallurgy. Mshvenieradze meticulously extracts and analyzes lexical data from ancient written monuments, with a primary focus on the "Sitqvis Kona" (The Dictionary of Words), the landmark 18th-century dictionary compiled by the scholar and diplomat Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani.
The volume serves as a critical bridge between humanities and technical sciences, demonstrating how historical manuscripts act as a repository for the nation's engineering and artisanal heritage. Across its 162 pages, the author identifies specific terms used for tools, materials, and mechanical processes, tracking their evolution or disappearance within the Georgian language. Published in a standard 20 cm hardcover format with a print run of 5,000 copies, this 1961 Tbilisi imprint is an essential resource for linguists, historians of science, and lexicographers. For bibliophiles and researchers of Georgiana, it remains a vital primary source, documenting the systematic efforts of the Soviet Georgian academic community to reclaim and standardize technical terminology based on classical literary foundations.
