The text chronicles the lives of the founders of the Iviron Monastery on Mount Athos, serving as a crucial primary source for both Georgian ecclesiastical history and the development of the Georgian literary language. This critical edition was initially prepared by the founding father of modern Georgian historiography, Ivane Javakhishvili. Following Javakhishvili's death, the publication was completed by the preeminent linguist Akaki Shanidze, who appended a massive, groundbreaking structural and lexical analysis of George the Hagiorite's language. Issued as Volume 3 in the esteemed \"Monuments of the Old Georgian Language\" series by the Georgian Academy of Sciences, the book was printed in a limited run of 2,000 copies. This specific copy boasts an extraordinary scholarly provenance: it bears an authentic presentation inscription from Akaki Shanidze to his younger colleague, the notable Georgian linguist Sergi Zhghenti. This direct documentary link between two major figures of Caucasian linguistics elevates the volume from a standard academic edition to a museum-quality association copy, highly desirable for institutions and collectors of Kartvelology and Georgian intellectual history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44595878166570,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_9317_10b9daa0-396c-4497-9a1a-71ba9e86d257.jpg?v=1784544160","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/signed-by-the-editor-mtatsmindeli-g-the-life-of-st-john-and-st-euthymius-tskhovrebay-iovanesi-da-eptvimesi-1946-in-georgian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
