The Book of Wisdom and Lies (Georgian: წიგნი სიბრძნე სიცრუისა, romanized: ts'igni sibrdzne sitsruisa) is a collection of fables and tales written by Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani between 1686 and 1695, when he was 20–25 years old.

Sulkhan-Saba skillfully presents many interesting and complicated aspects of human nature and gives his opinions and explanations.

Translator Oliver Wardrop calls Orbeliani's style "beautifully concise and epigrammatic".

The individual tales occur in settings ranging from France to India,[2] and derive from Georgian folklore, near-Eastern literature more generally (e.g. One Thousand and One Nights), and even the author's own experiences in Europe.

[2] A bowdlerized[1] English translation by Oliver Wardrop was published by William Morris at the Kelmscott Press in 1894.
