The Georgian Chronicle

<p><em>The Georgian Chronicle</em> 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 <em>Chronicle </em>into Classical Armenian. This medieval Armenian rendering is the one that is translated here. The <em>Georgian Chronicle </em>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.</p>
