520 2 "Georgian literary sources for Late Antiquity are commonly
held to be later productions devoid of historical value.
As a result, scholarship outside the Republic of Georgia
has privileged Graeco-Roman and even Armenian narratives.
However, when investigated within the dual contexts of a
regional literary canon and the active participation of
Caucasia's diverse peoples in the Iranian Commonwealth,
early Georgian texts emerge as a rich repository of Late
Antique attitudes and outlooks. Georgian hagiographical
and historiographical compositions open a unique window
onto a northern part of the Sasanian world that, while
sharing striking affinities with the Iranian heartland,
was home to vibrant, cosmopolitan cultures that developed
along their own trajectories. In these sources, precise
and accurate information about the core of the Sasanian
Empire--and before it, Parthia and Achaemenid Persia--is
sparse; yet the thorough structuring of wider Caucasian
society along Iranian and especially hybrid Iranic lines
is altogether evident. Scrutiny of these texts reveals,
inter alia, that the Old Georgian language is saturated
with words drawn from Parthian and Middle Persian, a trait
shared with Classical Armenian; that Caucasian society,
like its Iranian counterpart, was dominated by powerful
aristocratic houses, many of whose origins can be traced
to Iran itself; and that the conception of kingship in the
eastern Georgian realm of K'art'li (Iberia), even
centuries after the royal family's Christianisation in the
320s and 330s, was closely aligned with Arsacid and
especially Sasanian models. There is also a literary
dimension to the Irano-Caucasian nexus, aspects of which
this volume exposes for the first time. The oldest
surviving specimens of Georgian historiography exhibit
intriguing parallels to the lost Sasanian Xwadāy-nāmag,
The Book of Kings, one of the precursors to Ferdowsī's
Shāhnāma. As tangible products of the dense cross-cultural
web drawing the region together, early Georgian narratives
sharpen our understanding of the diversity of the Iranian
Commonwealth and demonstrate the persistence of Iranian
and Iranic modes well into the medieval epoch"--
