This book, written by the Georgian scholar and Academician Ivane Javakhishvili (1876-1940), traces the history of Georgian law and legal studies up to the 1330s. The history of Georgian law as a scholarly discipline is a vital and relevant aspect of Kartvelology. This book discusses ecclesiastical law and litigation as essential components of state law, focusing on key issues in ecclesiastical law, including the ideals of early Christianity and their subsequent transformations. This book examines in detail the issues surrounding the attribution of the Georgian king and the history of his government, the nature of the state court and courtship, and the civil servant and civil service as social institutions, among other topics. Throughout this book, the author explores the fundamental social concepts of Georgian feudal society and presents the entire system of patronage-legal relations, creating an excellent source for scholars and researchers in legal history, law students, and readers interested in mankind’s legal culture and its history.
