What it is
Liturgical hymns and calendars compiled at Sinai and Mar Saba, including a celebrated praise of the Georgian language as a tongue laid in the tomb until the last day.
Why it lasted
A central document of Georgian Christian literature, and evidence of a Caucasian monastic presence in Palestine.
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.
