The Zhamni (ჟამნი, from Georgian "zham" meaning hour) is the Georgian Orthodox Horologion - the central liturgical book of the canonical hours containing the fixed texts for Matins, the six Hours, Vespers, Compline, and the Midnight Office. The Georgian liturgical tradition maintains its own distinctive Horologion recension, rooted in the ancient Jerusalem rite transmitted to Georgia through the monastic communities of Palestine, Sinai, and Athos from the early medieval period. The facsimile reproduces the 1899 Tiflis edition issued from Ekvtime Iosifovich Kheladze's press, printed in two colors - rubrics in red, main text in black - in the Nuskhuri-Khutsuri ecclesiastical script. Kheladze was the most prolific publisher of Georgian ecclesiastical and literary texts in the 1870s-1890s, and his press was the principal venue for official liturgical printing in late nineteenth-century Tiflis. The 1899 edition was issued by authority of the Georgian-Imeretian Synodal Office, the official printing authority of the Caucasian Exarchate of the Russian Empire. Nuskhuri-Khutsuri is one of the three Georgian scripts, used exclusively for ecclesiastical literature since the 12th century; today it is employed by the Georgian Orthodox Church for iconography and liturgical texts, maintaining an unbroken connection to the medieval manuscript tradition.
