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.
