793, [5] pp. : maps ; 17 cm. Hardcover. In Georgian.

This 1990 edition of the New Testament and Psalms is a monumental publication in the history of the Georgian Church, released during the final breaths of the Soviet Union. Unlike earlier state-restricted religious materials, this volume was produced through the cooperation of the United Bible Societies (UBS), marking a major international effort to bring high-quality, modern-printed scripture back to the Georgian people. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the Georgian biblical tradition, including the arrangement of the Gospels and the Psalter in a linguistic style that respects the ancient Orthodox heritage while ensuring clarity for the contemporary reader. This "Third Edition" signifies the maturation of the post-war translation and distribution efforts that paved the way for the full religious revival of the 1990s.
The physical book is designed for durability and daily use, featuring a compact 17 cm format and a sturdy hardcover. Beyond its spiritual significance, the volume serves as a high-quality academic reference, containing five pages of specialized maps that detail the geographical context of the Holy Land and the Apostolic journeys. At 793 pages, the book represents a technical triumph for Georgian typography of the era, produced at a time when religious literature was transitioning from clandestine distribution to the open market. For bibliophiles, historians of the Caucasus, and collectors of religious imprints, this 1990 "Stockholm-Tbilisi" edition is a vital primary source, documenting the intersection of international mission work and the restoration of the Georgian national identity.
