Description
The Georgian Chronicle was originally composed in Georgian by several authors between the 6th and 13th centuries. Sometime in the late 12th or early 13th centuries, an unknown cleric translated the Chronicle into Classical Armenian. This medieval Armenian rendering is the one that is translated here. The Georgian Chronicle describes the history of Iberia/Georgia, Armenia's northern neighbor, from legendary times to the 12th century. It is a rich source of unique information on topics such as Caucasian ethnography, Armeno-Georgian relations, the history of Iran, the history of the Jewish community of Georgia and its role in the Christianization of the country, the birth of Islam, and the coming of the Seljuks.
