Abstract

Abstract taken from the PDF of the thesis (page 4); source: Ilia State University repository.

The presented work is the first serious attempt of the monographic study of Georgian mitres. The work illustrates, for the first time, the history of making mitres, their artistic, technical features and their role and place in the art history of the Late Feudal period Georgia.

These sacerdotal headgears supply us with various significant data dealing with iconographic, artistic and technological issues.

The present study fill the gap in the Georgian scholarship and enrich with new evidences and materials history of applyed art.

About Project

At present, “The Database of Academic Writings” is aimed at systematizing scientific legacy within art history and theory and related academic disciplines, such as: arts management and administration, culture studies, culture/arts sociology, philosophy, cultural anthropology, etc.; it promotes scientific achievements of the national researchers in Georgia and beyond. In the long run the platform serves to ensure proper intellectual development on the national level. Writings represent intellectual property of individual researchers developed in partnership with research and educational institutions.

Therefore, platform collects Master and PhD theses, monographs and other types of academic writings developed in partnership with research institutions; also, articles published in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings.

The Project is the extension of „Contemporary Art Archive – Tbilisi“ and is supported by International Education Center Alumni Association.

The archive was restored in 2026. Abstracts and full texts are being added gradually.
