  • Unknown Sergo Kobuladze
    The present book “Unknown Sergo Kobuladze” is the result of the project carried out in 2015 by the researchers of the George Chubinashvili National Research Centre for Georgian Art History and Heritage Preservation. The original project is aimed at inventorying the cultural heritage preserved in the workshop of Georgian People’s artist Sergo Kobuladze. The initiative came from Chubinashvili Centre that was supported by the Ministry of Culture and Monument Protection of Georgia. The treatment and processing of the discovered materials was planned immediately, alongside research and presentation to the general public by way of this book. In April 2015, a group of researchers commenced working. The leader of the project was Dr. Mariam Gachechiladze, art historian; the members of the project are art historians Drs.: Tamar Belashvili and Sopio Chitorelidze; intern Nodar Aronishidze and the granddaughter of the artist Elisabed Kobuladze. It is worth noting that the primary concept of the project was changed in the course of 2015. The Department of Graphics of the Tbilisi Academy of Arts was handed down the etching machine of the artist. After repair works, as an award, the promising students will be able to reprint ten works only out of the machine. The imprint detail should be installed for the machine, which will trace the watermark with the following inscription on it: “Imprinted on the Sergo Kobuladze machine”. Hereby, each example will gain the original character that represents the best encouragement for young, beginning artists. The archive of the artist was reassigned to the George Chubinashvili National Research Centre for Georgian Art History and Heritage Preservation as a result of its request.

Pirosmani’s imposing figures and motifs, with their powerful graphic quality, are wide-ranging: a train steaming through the countryside at night, a woman with a mug of beer, a monumental boar and, sometimes, animals such as a giraffe or lion from imagined lands. Rarely dated, his paintings on wax cloth are largely composed in black and white, enlivened by the presence of blue or red.

  • The Caucasus: a History James Forsyth Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87295-9 - The Caucasus: A History James Forsyth Frontmatter More information The Caucasus This is a fascinating new survey of the Caucasus which provides a unified narrative history of this complex and turbulent region at the borderlands of Europe, Asia and the Middle East, from prehistory to the present. For thousands of years the Caucasus has formed a hub of intersecting routes of migration, invasion, trade and culture, and a geographical bridge between Europe and Asia, subject to recurring imperial invasion. Drawing on sources in English and Russian, and translations from Persian and Arabic, this authoritative study centres on the region’s indigenous peoples, including Abkhazians, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Chechens, Daghestanis, Circassians and Georgians, and their relations with outsiders who still play a part in the life of the region today. The book presents a critical view of the role of Russian imperial- ism in the Caucasian countries, and the desperate struggle of most of its native peoples in their efforts to establish a precarious independence. james forsyth is former Reader and Head of the Department of Russian at the University of Aberdeen. His previous publications include A History of the Peoples of Siberia (Cambridge, 1992). © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87295-9 - The Caucasus: A History James Forsyth Frontmatter More information © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87295-9 - The Caucasus: A History James Forsyth Frontmatter More information The Caucasus A History James Forsyth © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87295-9 - The Caucasus: A History James Forsyth Frontmatter More information University Printing House, Cambridge CB2 8BS, United Kingdom Published in the United States of America by Cambridge University Press, New York Cambridge University Press is part of the University of Cambridge.

  • Ilia State University Abgar Legend
    Irma Karaulashvili Ilia State University Abgar Legend: Text and Iconography* Part I Apocrypha related to the Abgar Legend As is well known, the textual tradition and the iconographic develop- ments related to the Abgar legend are very rich and sometimes quite enig- matic. The most archaic form of the Abgar Legend is preserved in the Historia Ecclesiastica (I, 13-II, 1; hereafter – HE) of Eusebius of Caesarea in Greek,1 and in the text entitled the Doctrina Addai2 (hereafter – DA) in Syriac.3 Both texts are focussing on the correspondence between Abgar, the king of the little Hellenistic country Osrhoene,4 and Christ as well as on the conversion of the 1 The Ecclesiastical History, with an English Translation by Kirsopp Lake, 2 vols.

Hata (Detroit: Wayne State University, 1992), 212-34 (hereafter – Brock 1992). 2 Syriac equivalent of Thaddaeus. 3 The narrative in the DA represents the expanded version of the legend. The dating of the Syriac source is not clear. Various authors have estimated it differently: the second half of the fourth century according to G. Bonnet Maury (“La légende d’Abgar et de Thaddée et les missions chrétiennes á Edesse,” Revue de l’histoire des religions 16 (1887): 269- 83, 87) and Elena Meščerskaya (Е.
