The author takes an inter-disciplinary approach and examines the question from archaeological, art historical, historical, literary and theological viewpoints to try and explore the relationship as thoroughly as possible. Taking the Georgian belief that ?Thirteen Syrian Fathers? introduced monasticism to the country in the sixth century as a starting point, this volume explores the evidence for trade, cultural and religious relations between Syria and the Kingdom of Kartli (what is now eastern Georgia) between the fourth and seventh centuries CE. It considers whether there is any evidence to support the medieval texts and tries to place this posited relationship within a wider regional context. 410 0$aTexts and Studies in Eastern Christianity$v13. 606 $aSyriac Christians$zGeorgia (Republic) 606 $aChurch architecture$zSyria 606 $aChurch architecture$zGeorgia (Republic) 610 $aArchaeology by period / region 615 0$aSyriac Christians 615 0$aChurch architecture 615 0$aChurch architecture 676 $a281/.63094758 700 $aLoosley$b Emma$0897954 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910309748603321 996 $aArchitecture and asceticism$92073736 997 $aUNINA
