This is the first complete Old Georgian-Russian dictionary to the Gospels, compiled by S. B. Serebryakov for the two old redactions of the Georgian Tetraevangelion and published by the Academy of Sciences of the Georgian SSR in 1962. The Four Gospels belong to the earliest layer of Georgian written culture, with manuscript witnesses reaching back to the ninth and tenth centuries, and they remain the standard entry text for students of Old Georgian. Before this volume, a Russian-language reader had no complete glossary to them. The preface recalls the only earlier attempt, N. Ya. Marr's dictionary to the first two chapters of Mark (St. Petersburg, 1913), whose arrangement by roots made it impractical for everyday reading. Serebryakov instead orders the entries alphabetically, which makes the book usable as a working tool. The main dictionary is followed by an index of Russian words (pages 229 to 264) and an index of personal verb forms (pages 265 to 285), which lets a reader trace an inflected form back to its headword. The volume was edited by G. I. Imedashvili and issued in a print run of only 1,000 copies, which accounts for its scarcity today. For Kartvelologists, Biblical philologists, historians of the Georgian language and collectors of Caucasian linguistics, it is a standard reference of the Soviet period, and a clean copy with the errata slip still present is a useful addition to a specialist library.
