Description:
|
Evidence of old Georgian, the only written language in the South Caucasian
family for many centuries, presents us with a unique source of knowledge
for this region; history, law, religion. This dictionary of old-Georgian by
Professors Fähnrich and Sardshweladse (†) fills a long-felt hiatus and
opens up for the first time the lexicon of its first seven centuries, viz.
the 4th to the 11th centuries A.D. The explanatory language is German. All
old Georgian words and word meanings are accompanied by ample evidence from
the texts themselves, the result of painstaking research over many decades.
A must for specialists in the region, its language and history.
