This translation of the Life of St. Nino, from the standard Lives of Georgian Saints by Gobron Sabinin, makes readily available the basic hagiography of this important figure of Christianity in Georgia. St. Nino, apart from her personal significance, also represents the important place that women held in the introduction of Christianity to this nation. The editors provide a useful discussion of the critical material for the manuscript in the preface, noting important deviations from the standard text. Also included in this volume are chapters 8 through 11 of the Armenian Version of the text by Djouansher, as translated by F. C. Conybeare.

Margery Wardrop (1869-1909), sister of the British diplomat Sir John Oliver Wardrop, was a noted collector and translator of Georgian folk-literature. Her 1894 collection, Georgian Folk-Tales, Vol. I, was the first collection of such folktales available in English. Her work included the translation of important material for understanding the culture of pre-Soviet Georgia.

Isaac the Syrian's Spiritual Works

Isaac the Syrian lived the solitary life in the 7th century. He was born in Qatar and subsequently lived in present day Iraq and Iran. After life as a monk, then briefly as a bishop, he withdrew to live the solitary life. These discourses are primarily for solitaries to consolidate them in the love and mercy of God. In this volume, the text of Isaac V has also been included because of the light which it sheds on Apocatastasis, of increasing interest in academic and ecclesial circles.

The Platonic Theology of Ioane Petritsi

Gigineishvili’s study is a comprehensive exposition of the philosophical system of twelfth-century Georgian Christian Neoplatonist philosopher Ioane Petritsi. Petritsi translated and commented on Proclus’ "Elements of Theology." The translation needed the creation of a philosophic language—a medium for transmitting the extravagant philosophic ideas into Georgian—which Petritsi effectively achieved. Petritsi both explains intricacies of Proclus’ thought and tries to prove the basic affinity between the Platonic and the biblical traditions. Gigineishvili exposes the entire system of Petritsi’s thought on a background of ideas of Proclus, other Neoplatonists, and of the Church Fathers.
