Georgian is one of the oldest written languages in the world, and the country possesses an ancient literary tradition. This exhibition traces the history of Georgian scripts from their legendary beginnings in the reign of King Parnavaz in the 4th century BC to the version of the written language first seen in the 10th century AD and still in use today. The exhibition consists of full-colour images of manuscripts, in themselves objects of beauty, often splendidly illustrated.
The exhibition was curated by Vesna Petkovic, Pro Art & Co.
