What it is

Greek scripture, liturgy, and patristic works rendered into Georgian at the Iviron monastery on Athos, along with a Greek version of an Indian Buddhist tale reworked as a Christian romance.

Why it lasted

The making of the Georgian theological library, and the route by which Barlaam and Josaphat entered European literature.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
