Download or read book Studies in Medieval Georgian Historiography written by Stephen H. Rapp and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Original literature first appeared among the indigenous population of Caucasia in the fifth century AD as a consequence of its Christianization. Though a number of Armenian histories were composed at this time, several centuries elapsed before the Georgians created their own. But how many centuries? Through a meticulous investigation of internal textual criteria, Studies in Medieval Georgian Historiography challenges the traditional eleventh-century dating of the oldest Georgian narrative histories and probes their interrelationships. Illuminating Caucasia's status as a cultural crossroads, it reveals the myriad Eurasian influences - written and oral, Christian and non-Christian - on these "pre-Bagratid" histories produced between the seventh and the ninth century. Eastern Georgia's place in the Eurasian world and its long-standing connection to the Iranian Commonwealth are specially highlighted. This volume also examines several related historical and historiographical problems of the early Bagratid period and supplies critical translations of six early Georgian histories previously unavailable in English. Dr. Stephen H. Rapp, Jr. is Assistant Professor of History at Georgia State University, Atlanta (USA), and is the Founding Director of its Program in World History and Cultures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays presented here reflect recent widespread interest in reconsidering the political, geographical, and cultural boundaries conventionally observed by area specialists and others. They intentionally range widely through time and space, dealing with diverse issues and contexts, but each highlights the very general theme of cross-cultural interaction. Although they draw heavily on area studies, the contributors seek to put previously separate bodies of scholarship in dialogue with one another by exploring those interactions that have historically linked world regions. Four general themes are especially prominent in this volume, and the essays develop sophisticated positions on each. On the issue of agency and structure, they offer useful guidance toward recognizing the importance of both human agency and historical structures in historical processes. On the theme of states and their roles in cross-cultural interactions, they acknowledge that states do not entirely control their own destinies but nevertheless deeply influence the development of these exchanges, sometimes decisively so. Regarding the theme of the global and the local, they emphasize the reciprocal influence of global dynamics and local circumstances and agree that analyses must take both into account to be successful. Finally, all of the essays allow that the theme of cross-cultural interaction is crucial to understanding the world and its development through time. Contributors:C. A. Bayly; Sven Beckert; Jerry H.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a survey of characteristics as well as developmental stages of the Georgian society as it is distilled in its science, religion, and culture.The first chapter discusses the pre-Christian period and acquaints readers with fundamental characteristics of a developed, highly cultured society that existed in the Georgian territory and achieved significant results in agriculture, metallurgy, and political structure together with a long-lasting and intensive connection with the outside world.The second chapter considers the contribution of the Christian religion to the formation of the Georgian nation in early medieval centuries and beyond. This chapter covers in much detail various monasteries and church complexes that existed within the country's territory and outside of it, thus providing a working mechanism for intellectual, spiritual, and educational progress. This chapter also focuses on several important monastic leaders and their contributions.The third chapter describes the Golden Age of Georgia, which begins with the accession to the throne of the Bagrationi dynasty in the 9th century and reaches its peak in 12th and 13th centuries. At this time, simultaneously with the positive political and economic developments inside the country, powerful intellectual processes took place that this chapters covers in full. As an example, numerous translations of secular and religious literature are made, and the masterpiece of the poem "Vepkhistkaosani", written by Shota Rustaveli, was written.The fourth chapter examines the interrelation of the European Renaissance and the Georgian culture. As elsewhere in the world, the Renaissance in Georgia brought a new theoretical premise for creating a new type of civilization. Humanistic values, scientific explanation of facts, and the discovery of modern understanding determined the future of all mankind. Under the influence of this process, Georgian literature, philosophy, and Georgian thinkers took their special place in Georgia as well as in Russia.The last chapter describes the more difficult years of Georgia as it slowly began losing its independence until being fully absorbed - first into the Russian and later into the Soviet - Empires. In the 19th century, despite the deeply mourned loss of statehood, Georgia underwent an intense period of national self-awareness. This internal struggle was followed by a serious result. For a brief period of independence (1918-1921), the national university was opened and thus the foundation was laid for the development of the more modern tendencies of culture and science.Despite being a small part of the socialist world, Georgian people accomplished a great deal in all spheres of public life: educational and research institutions were opened, and literature, art and sport flourished like never before.In 1941, the Georgian Academy of Sciences (since 2008, renamed the National Academy of Science) was established. Today, despite certain post-Soviet difficulties Georgia is firmly building its future as an inherent part of Europe.
