Gamkrelidze, Tamaz. Alphabetic Writing and the Old Georgian Script: A Typology and Provenience of Alphabetic Writing Systems. / Tamaz Gamkrelidze; Edited and with a preface by Akaki Shanidze.
Tbilisi : Tbilisi University Press, 1990. 2nd Revised Edition.
352 pp. : ill. Hardcover, 22 cm. In Georgian and Russian.

This 1990 second revised edition is a monumental work in the field of Kartvelology and general linguistics, written by the world-renowned scholar Tamaz Gamkrelidze (1929–2021). Published during a period of national intellectual resurgence in Georgia, this volume remains one of the most sophisticated investigations into the origins and structural typology of the Georgian alphabet. The book is enhanced by the preface and editorial work of Akaki Shanidze, the patriarch of Georgian linguistics, signaling the supreme academic weight of the research. In this study, Gamkrelidze provides a deep typological analysis that offers a deep dive into the internal logic of the alphabet, including the arrangement of vowels and consonants. To ensure scholarly reach across the Soviet and post-Soviet academic space, the book includes a substantial multilingual apparatus with text in Georgian and Russian, making it a bridge between these linguistic traditions. The volume is further enhanced by numerous paleographic illustrations, being supplemented with charts and tables that demonstrate the development of alphabetic systems across the Mediterranean and the Near East. As the second revised edition, it incorporates corrected and updated findings from the decade following its initial release, featuring revised content that cements its status as the "definitive" version of Gamkrelidze's theory.
