Since ancient times, in the 3rd-1st millenniums BC, the Georgians kept contacts with the following states: Sumer, Akkadian Empire, Median Kingdom, Assyria, Ancient Persia, Greece, Ancient Armenia; then there were the Parthian Empire, Seleu- cid Empire, the Kingdom of Pontus and Rome. The Georgian states of Colchis and Iberia, lying in an active transit trade area, contributed to culture-shaping and development process of other nations. For its part, the unique Georgian civilization was being formed thanks to mastering the cultural achievements of neighbouring developed nations. An absolutely new stage in cultural and state development of Geor- gia was connected with the spreading of Christianity and its official adoption as a state-religion in the first quarter of the IV century. Since then, Georgia has maintained close contacts with Christian countries, with Eastern Roman Empire in the first place and its constituent great centers of Christianity (Palestine, Antioch, Mount Sinai), as well as with the neighbouring Armenia. Of special note are the relations of Georgia and Georgian Church with the Holy Land and Mount Athos. The intensity of relationships with Christian centers of the East did not diminish even after the Byzantine territories were ceded to Muslims. It is clear that the centuries-old relationships with the largest Chris- tian Empire and significant monastery centers, as well as functioning of numerous Georgian monasteries in the Christian East had promoted the development of Georgian Christian art, literature and culture in general. 5 Unique works of Georgian architecture, wall paintings, cloison- né enamelware, artworks of icon painting, repoussé metal art and man- uscript illumination reveal close cultural proximity of Georgian Christian culture to the Byzantine one, while at the same time maintaining its national character and originality. Taking into account an overall picture of Georgian literature and culture, it can be stated that it has become the most significant part of Christian, namely eastern Orthodox (Palestinian and Byzantine) world culture. That’s exactly why Medieval Georgia got involved in building and to some extent in globalization of general Christian culture. The Geor- gian culture is an integral and significant part of those general Christian values on bases of which the European culture emerged. The unique collection of Georgian manuscripts is preserved at K. Kekelidze Georgian National Center of Manuscripts. In the framework of the International scientific conference “Georgia-Byzantium-Christian East” I would like to present an album “From the Treasury of K. Keke- lidze Georgian National Center of Manuscripts” to the participants. The album will help you familiarize yourselves with several samples from the richest collection of the Center. Abstracts of the presentations are appended to the album.

  • Magdalena Sto J an O V a the Cemetery Church of Rožen
    MAGDALENA STO J AN O V A THE CEMETERY CHURCH OF ROŽEN MONASTERY Rožen Monastery is situated on a hill between Rožen and Melnik amidst magnificent mountain scenery. Isolated from busy centres and difficult of access—though rich in natural beauty—this position has proved exceptionally favourable for the monastery’s survival up to the present day. Its architecture indicates a relatively early construction date, around the twelfth or thirteenth century1, but the first written source for Rožen Monastery dates only from 15512. Having studied a great number of Greek documents, the architect Alkiviadis Prepis3 has established that the monastery was originally a de­ pendency with a church dedicated to St George, which was built in the thir­ teenth century by the Byzantine soldier George Contostephanus Calameas and his wife. According to surviving data from the period up until 1351, in 1309 they presented the dependency to the Georgian Iviron Monastery on Mount Athos, and continued to enrich it4. After this area was conquered by 1. On the basis of the construction and the plan, Assen Vassiliev dates the church to about the twelfth century : A Vassiliev, Ktitorski portreti, Sofia 1960, p. 88. George Trajchev opines that the monastery was built in 1217 (Maitastirite v Makedonija, Sofia 1933, pp. 192- 3). The opinion that the church dates from the fourteenth or fifteenth century is shared by Metropolitan Pimen of Nevrokop ('Roženskija manastir’, Tsarkoven vestnic, 17 (1962) 14) and Professor V. Pandurski ('Tsarcovni starini v Melnik, Ročenskija manastir i Sandanski’, Duhovna cultura, 4 (1964) 16-18). Nichola Mavrodinov suggests an earlier date in: 'Tsarcvi i manastiri v Melnik i Rožen, Godishnik na narodnija musej, vol.

  • Acceptance and Rejection of Foreign Influence in the Church Architecture of Eastern Georgia
    The Churches of Mtskheta: Acceptance and Rejection of Foreign Influence in the Church Architecture of Eastern Georgia Samantha Johnson Senior Art History Thesis December 14, 2017 The small town of Mtskheta, located near Tbilisi, the capital of the Republic of Georgia, is the seat of the Georgian Orthodox Church and is the heart of Christianity in the country. This town, one of the oldest in the nation, was once the capital and has been a key player throughout Georgia’s tumultuous history, witnessing not only the nation’s conversion to Christianity, but also the devastation of foreign invasions. It also contains three churches that are national symbols and represent the two major waves of church building in the seventh and eleventh centuries. Georgia is, above all, a Christian nation and religion is central to its national identity. This paper examines the interaction between incoming foreign cultures and deeply-rooted local traditions that have shaped art and architecture in Transcaucasia.1 Nestled among the Caucasus Mountains, between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, present-day Georgia contains fewer than four million people and has its own unique alphabet and language as well as a long, complex history. In fact, historians cannot agree on how Georgia got its English exonym, because in the native tongue, kartulad, the country is called Sakartvelo, or “land of the karvelians.”2 They know that the name “Sakartvelo” first appeared in texts around 800 AD as another name for the eastern kingdom of Kartli in Transcaucasia. It then evolved to signify the unified eastern and western kingdoms in 1008.3 Most scholars agree that the name “Georgia” did not stem from the nation’s patron saint, George, as is commonly thought, but actually comes 1 This research addresses the multitude of influences that have contributed to the development of Georgia’s ecclesiastical architecture.
