Additional title pages and summaries in Russian and French.

This three-volume set comprises the fundamental linguistic research of Varlam Topuria, one of the most distinguished figures in Georgian and Caucasian philology. Spanning several decades of publication, the collection provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the Kartvelian language family, including the arrangement of the complex verbal system of the Svan language, which occupies the entirety of the first volume. Topuria’s work is renowned for its exhaustive morphological analysis and its role in defining the historical-comparative framework of Ibero-Caucasian linguistics.  Volume I (1967) remains a definitive authority on Svan verbal structures, while Volume III (1979) addresses broader issues of Kartvelian phonology and grammar with summaries in Russian and French for the international academic community. The second volume, published posthumously in 2002 with a very small print run of only 300 copies, consolidates his research on Mingrelian, Laz, and various Georgian dialects. As a vital primary source, this set documents the evolution of the "Tbilisi school" of linguistics. Given the disparate publication dates and the extremely limited circulation of the second volume, a complete three-volume set is a significant bibliographical rarity and an essential asset for any serious research library specializing in Kartvelian studies and Caucasian languages.
