Published in 1983 by the \"Khelovneba\" (Art) publishing house, this volume is a triumph of late Soviet Georgian book design. It presents the original 5th-century text alongside translations into Modern Georgian, Russian, Latin, English, French, Spanish, and German. What truly distinguishes this edition is its visual execution: each language section is accompanied by specially commissioned illustrations from a stellar roster of prominent Georgian artists, including Mamia Malazonia, Tengiz Mirzashvili, Levan Tsutskiridze, Zurab Nizharadze, and others. The exquisite Georgian calligraphy by G. Nadiradze further elevates the aesthetic experience. Printed on heavy coated paper and bound in a substantial, nearly square hardcover with elegant stamping, this multilingual edition transcends a simple literary text to become a comprehensive showcase of Georgian graphic arts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44543386812458,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_7835.jpg?v=1783448128","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/tsurtaveli-iakob-the-martyrdom-of-shushanik-shushanikis-tsameba-multilingual-art-edition-tbilisi-1983","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
