Anbandidi Gospel

Due to the extremely large size of the graphemes, the manuscript is known as the Anbandidi (with big alphabet) Gospel in academic circles.

The Anbandidi Gospel is one of the several oldest Georgian manuscripts; it is distinguished by its simplicity, exquisiteness, oldness, text version, material and spiritual values.

The hardened, stained, but still well preserved parchment manuscript bears the traces of travel within quite a vast geographical area.

The Gospel is a valuable part of our intellectual treasury, occupying one of the significant places in the study of the history of manuscripts.

The Anbandidi Gospel is an achievement of world culture, representing a most important stage in the development of manuscripts.
