Ancient Georgian Versions of the Old Testament is a description and analysis of a unique Old Testament codex in Georgian containing the first eight books of the Bible, the Prophets, and marginal commentary on both. The first part of the text discussed is an unknown translation from Greek to Georgian, which is remarkably literal in using participial phrases and double letters. The second half of the codex resembles the Georgian Bible that was printed in Moscow in 1743. This valuable study casts new light on the history of Georgian, the evolution of the Georgian Old Testament, and the relation of the Moscow text to the Armenian Bible.

Hunayn ibn Ishaq and the Kitab Adab al-falasifah

The Pursuit of Wisdom and a Humane Polity in Early Abbasid Baghdad

By Sidney H. Griffith

Series: Analecta Gorgiana 122

ISBN: 978-1-60724-043-3

With a focus on the Kitāb Ādāb al-falāsifah, a book of aphorisms attributed to Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq, some of the important aspects of the Kitāb are laid out, particularly those dealing with religion and the pursuit of philosophy. Although putatively, translators and scholars such as Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq, opened the way for philosophical dialogue between Muslims and Christians of Orthodox churches on precepts, often based on Aristotle, which they could agree would lead to wisdom and a humane society.
