Early Christian Georgian Literature: Making Christian Identity in an Iranic Culture


Overview

This Element re-evaluates the genesis and early development of Georgian literature. Sparked by the Christian invention of a Georgian script ca. 400 AD, this literature was a product of the Christianization of the Caucasus region. But to what extent was early Georgian literature a Christian one? What were the ecclesiastical, cultural, and linguistic contexts of Georgian literature? And how did Georgia's, and Caucasia's, existing ties to Iranian cultural world affect the evolution of a distinctly Georgian literature? All the while, this volume engages both the Christianization of Georgia's peoples and the Georgianization of Christianity.
