What it is

A revision of the Georgian scriptures and service books against Greek originals, undertaken to bring the Georgian church into line with Byzantine usage.

Why it lasted

It settled the Georgian liturgical text, and his defence of Georgian Christianity before the Byzantine emperor is a small classic of national self-assertion.

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.
