Since the day of its establishment in 1918, the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU) has been performing the function of both educational and internationally important scientific center. TSU spares no efforts to continue this tradition properly. Today the University is facing new challenges – along with preserving its traditions, it should withstand the requirements of the XXI century and be competitive on the international scientific market. Here, the quality of a scientific product is determined not only by the researcher’s skills and abilities, but also by many other factors. According to the established stereotypes, new standards leave small countries like Georgia beyond the scientific achievements. Though, the processes taking place at the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University break these stereotypes. Therefore, we believe that the society should know more about them. Just this is the goal, which our new project - a bilingual scientific-popular journal TSU Science - serves. In the first edition of the journal we deliberately refrained from talking about the past. The readers have an opportunity to get acquainted with the current developments at the University: information on recent researches, which have already triggered international interest – they have received research grants; various articles about them have been published in various top scientific journals; frequently, these researches are the outcome of successful international scientific cooperation; the readers of TSU – Science will also have an opportunity to get acquainted with the scientists – people, who created the Georgian and world scientific capital, are honorary members of the XXI century international scientific circles.

In a recent article, I have provided the fi rst edition of three sec- ondary notes that were added, in a very clumsy nuskhuri hand and in an extremely faulty orthography, to the manuscript Sin.georg. 16 of St. Cath- erine’s Monastery on Mt. Sinai, a Gospel codex that was composed in the Monastery of the Holy Cross near Jerusalem in 992 A.D.1 The notes have turned out to be personal rogations,2 probably written by a certain Ḳirile who was the page of a person named Mzečabụ ḳ; the latter obviously bore the rank of an atabag-amirsṗasalari, which used to be the title of the rul- ers of Samcxe-Saatabago. In a fi rst attempt at verifi cation, I proposed to identify this person with Mzečabụ ḳ, son of Quarq̣ ̇ uare II (the Great) who was the ruler of Samcxe in the second half of the fi fteenth century.

  • Medicinal Ethnobotany of Wild Plants
    Kazancı et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2020) 16:71 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-020-00415-y RESEARCH Open Access Medicinal ethnobotany of wild plants: a cross-cultural comparison around Georgia- Turkey border, the Western Lesser Caucasus Ceren Kazancı1* , Soner Oruç2 and Marine Mosulishvili1 Abstract Background: The Mountains of the Western Lesser Caucasus with its rich plant diversity, multicultural and multilingual nature host diverse ethnobotanical knowledge related to medicinal plants. However, cross-cultural medicinal ethnobotany and patterns of plant knowledge have not yet been investigated in the region. Doing so could highlight the salient medicinal plant species and show the variations between communities. This study aimed to determine and discuss the similarities and differences of medicinal ethnobotany among people living in highland pastures on both sides of the Georgia-Turkey border. Methods: During the 2017 and 2018 summer transhumance period, 119 participants (74 in Turkey, 45 in Georgia) were interviewed with semi-structured questions. The data was structured in use-reports (URs) following the ICPC classification. Cultural Importance (CI) Index, informant consensus factor (FIC), shared/separate species-use combinations, as well as literature data were used for comparing medicinal ethnobotany of the communities. Results: One thousand five hundred six UR for 152 native wild plant species were documented. More than half of the species are in common on both sides of the border. Out of 817 species-use combinations, only 9% of the use incidences are shared between communities across the border. Around 66% of these reports had not been previously mentioned specifically in the compared literature.

  • Church – Consolidating the Georgian Regions
    Church – Consolidating the Georgian Regions Metropolitan Ananya Japaridze Saint Ilia the Righteous said from the very establishment of the holy Church of Georgia, that it presented a strong power consolidating the whole population of the state. It was not locked within the narrow ethnic borders but was the belonging of different ethnos residing in the state. According to Holy Writ, it never differentiated Hellenist from Jew, Georgian from non-Georgian, as its flocks were children of Georgia with mutual responsibility to the country and citizenship. Even Saint Nino, founder of the Georgian Church, came from Kapadokia. Saint of Georgian Church, martyr Razhden, and Saint Evstati Mtskheteli were Persian. Famous 12 fathers struggling against fire-worship and Monophysitism were Assyrian (Syrian). Neopyth Urbani Episcope was Arabian. The famous Saint Abo Tbileli came from Arabia too. The Saint Queen Shushanik was Armenian etc. The above list shows that Georgian church unified all citizens of the country in spite of their ethnic origin. At the same time, the Georgian church always used to create a united cultural space. The Georgian Church was consolidating regions and different ethnic groups of Georgia. The Georgian language was the key factor of Georgian Christian culture. Initially, Georgian language and based on it Georgian Christian culture embraced whole Georgia, all its regions. Divine services, all church acts, in mountains and lowlands from the Black Sea to Armenia and Albania were implemented only in Georgian language. Georgian language and Georgian culture dominated all over the Georgian territory. And just this differentiates old Georgia from the present one. It’s evident that the main flocks of Georgian Church were Georgians of West, South and East Georgia.

  • Mtskheta-Tbilisi
    PARTNERS PROGRAMME 6th JUNE Tbilisi – Mtskheta-Tbilisi 11:00 Departure from hotel. Guided tour to the Jvari Monastery and Mtskheta 11:30 Arrival to the Jvari Monastery The masterpiece of Early Christian Orthodox architecture Jvari Monastery is dated 585-604 cc AD. Located on the hill top near the town Mtskheta, it is listed in UNESCO World Heritage Site list since 1994. The name is translated as the Monastery of the Cross. According to traditional accounts, in the early 4th century Saint Nino (who brought christianity to Georgia) stayed here to pray and erected a wooden cross on Mtskheta’s highest hill. The church was built on the crest of a cliff at a confluence of the rivers Mtkvari and Aragvi. It is a representative of the tetra conch architectural type that was popular not only in Georgia but also in Byzantine world. Jvari served as a model for many other churches in the country. Unusual and varied relief sculptures decorate its façades. The importance of Jvari complex has increased over time and attracted many pilgrims. According to the legend pilgrims visiting the site shed tears while praying and the nearby natural lake was named the Lake of tears. The harmonious relationship between the landscape, architectural forms and divisions, the well-thought-out disposition of decorative elements and splendid relieves carved on big slabs of a stone give the south and east walls special expressiveness. Among the reliefs of the east wall are found the portraits of the kings who built the church. Included in UNESCO world heritage sights, the monument is still used for major celebrations.

  • Rehav Rubin Iconography As Cartography
    Rehav Rubin Iconography as Cartography: Two Cartographic Icons of the Holy City and its Environs Abstract The sacredness of Jerusalem to three religions, and its veneration by members of all the different sects and divisions of the Christian world, gave it a special, unique status as a Holy City. This status has drawn the attention of an untold number of Christian authors, who published an enormous number of compositions about it. In many of these both earthly and heavenly Jerusalem were depicted, in many maps, views, and other graphic images. The study of the cartographical evidence related to Jerusalem has hitherto overlooked the Greek material, which includes some interesting specimens. The paper presents two 18th century large icons painted on wood which are preserved in the Monastery of the Holy Cross and in the Monastery of St. George in the Old City of Jerusalem. Both icons contain map-like representations of Jerusalem and its environs, focusing on the depiction of the holy sites. They were made by Greek Orthodox monks in Jerusalem, in the Greek language and for Greek audience, and reflect the geographic and cartographic concept of the Holy City which the Greek Orthodox wished to convey. Graphic depictions, maps, illustrations of holy sites within the city of Jerusalem and in its environs, as well as panoramic views of the city have been the subject of considerable scholarly works. Yet, to date, most research has focused primarily on Western European works, Catholic and Protestant alike,1 while largely ignoring graphic depictions of Jerusalem produced in Eastern Europe or drawn by members of the Greek Orthodox Church.

Valleau For citation: Cherkasov A. А., Koroleva L. A., Bratanovskii S. N., Valleau A. The Abkhazian and Min- grelian Principalities: Historical and Demographic Research. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. History, 2018, vol. 63, issue 4, рp. 1001–1016. https://doi.org/10.21638/11701/spbu02.2018.402 This article examines the historical and demographic aspects of the development of the Abkhazian and Mingrelian principalities within the Russian Empire. The attention is drawn to the territorial disputes among rulers over the ownership of Samurzakan. The sources used for this study include documents from the State archives of Krasnodar Krai (Krasnodar, Russian Federation), the Central state historical archive of Georgia (Tbilisi, Georgia), statistical data of the 1800s–1860s on Abkhazia, Mingrelia and Samurzakan, as well as memoirs and diaries of travelers. The authors came to the following conclusions: 1) the uprising of Shikh Mansur in 1785 led to the adoption of new religious rules among the population of Circassia and Abkhazia. As a result, Islam began to spread in Abkhazia. At the time, Islam did not, however, reach Samurzakan and Mingrelia. Both territories remained Christian; 2) as soon as the Abkhazian and Mingrelian principalities were annexed to the Russian Empire, the ruling princes started greatly overestimating the local population rates. They believed that there were on average at least 9–10 people per household on the territories they ruled. In reality, there were 4,7 people per household in Abkhazia and about 7 in Mingrelia; 3) the beginning of the process of decentralization, which was characteristic of the Circassian tribes, can be illustrated Aleksandr A.

  • A Historical-Geographic Review of Modern Abkhazia
    A Historical-Geographic Review of Modern Abkhazia by T. Beradze, K. Topuria, B Khorava Abkhazia (Abkhazeti) – the farthest North-Western part of Georgia is situated between the rivers Psou and Inguri on the coast of the Black Sea. The formation of Abkhazia within the borders is the consequence of complicated ethno-political processes. Humans first settled on the territory of modern Abkhazia during the Paleolithic Era. Abkhazia is the place where Neolithic, Bronze and Early Iron Eras are represented at their best. The first Georgian state – the Kingdom of Egrisi (Kolkheti), formed in 15. to 14. century BC, existed till the 2.century BC. It used to include the entire South-Eastern and Eastern parts of the Black Sea littoral for ages. The territory of modern Abkhazia was also a part of the Egrisi Kingdom. Old Greek historical sources inform us that before the new millennium, the territory between the rivers Psou and Inguri was only populated with tribes of Georgian origin: the Kolkhs, Kols, Svan-Kolkhs, Geniokhs. The Kingdom of Old Egrisi fell at the end of the 2.century BC and was never restored till 2.century AD. Old Greeks, Byzantines and Romans called this state - Lazika, the same Lazeti, which was associated with the name of the ruling dynasty. In 3. and 4. centuries AD, entire Western Georgia, including the territory of present Abkhazia, was part of this state. Based on the data of Byzantine authors, the South-East coastline part of the territory – between rivers Kodori and Inguri - belonged to the Odishi Duchy.
