With the exception of the life of St. Nino, none of the biographies
here had been previously translated into English when this book was
originally published in 1956. The lives of the Georgian saints are
rich and many-sided, not dry chronicles of monkish trivialities.
They contain vivid descriptions of life in the Caucasus, Byzantium
and Palestine. They give the reader insight into the history and
aspirations of an important branch of the Eastern Church and into
its relationships with Zoroastrian Persia, the Arab Caliphate, the
Imperial Court of Constantinople and the whole world of mediaeval
Christendom.
