🔍 Why This Book is a Must-Have:

• Crucial Reference Work: This is the second volume ("II" is visible) of a comprehensive bibliography cataloging scholarly material (published in Georgian) on Old Georgian Literature (also known as Old Kartvelian Literature) between the years 1921 and 1965.

• Scholarly Value: It systematically organizes and accounts for a significant body of research on medieval Georgian texts, hagiography, hymnography, poetry (like Rustaveli), and historical prose.

• Rarity: As an academic publication from the Soviet era in Tbilisi, copies in good condition are extremely difficult to find outside of specialized library archives.

• Historical Insight: The introductory text (pages visible in the photos) discusses the importance of this literary period and the methodology of the bibliography, providing unique insight into Georgian literary research of the time.

• Academics & Researchers: Essential for anyone specializing in Kartvelology, Georgian Studies, Byzantine/Caucasus Literature, Medieval Texts, or Manuscript Studies.

• Rare Book Collectors: A valuable addition to a collection focused on Soviet-era publishing, Caucasus history, or linguistic bibliographies.

• Institutions: Perfect for University Libraries, Research Centers, and Museum Collections focused on Eastern European, Near Eastern, or Orthodox Christian cultural history.
