This project is focussed on the study of the complex phenomenon of the exchanges of the texts and ideas between the different linguistic communities in the Chalcedonian monasteries of Palestine and Sinai (8th-10th centuries). It analyses the reception and assimilation of cultural elements by the Christians from the Semitic to the Georgian world; precisely, providing focus on literary contacts, it studies translations from Syriac and Christian Arabic literature into Georgian.
