Evident orientation of the 11th century Georgian system of thinking to Byzantine cultural processes significantly determined trends of not only specific directions of culture, but also basic cultural trends of Georgia of that period in general. Georgian religious-philosophical concepts or the literary processes in general were developed in parallel with Byzantine cultural processes, and acquired substance accordingly. The intensity of translation activity that emerges in the reality of Georgia of this period is conditioned by the desire of Georgian translators to compare to Byzantium -- a leading cultural country of the world of that period. Therefore, if Georgian writers mainly created original works at an earlier stage, this period is marked by the commencement of active translation activity.

Over time, in line with the nature and requirements of the epoch, the concept of translation was formed and refined. The study of literary heritage of Georgian translators and the identification of individual linguistic-terminological qualifiers is important for in-depth research of the issue, as well as for the establishment of the identity of anonymous translators. Frequently the names of a translator, copyist or sponsor are intermixed. Additionally, the cases of erroneous attribution of translators of the same literary school and the same period to other translators are not rare. In such conditions, it is obvious that several factors are to be taken into account for the establishment of actual identity of a translator: 1.

Historical sources about the work; 2. Literary traditions; 3. Method of translation, based on which literary school and, respectively, probable time and place of the given work can be ascertained. 4. For the completeness of information national stylistic norms used for this or that translation are to be studied. The following factor is to be taken into account when making a conclusion: the stage of career the translation was performed, since translators continuously elaborated and refined translation method or terminological structure. The work reviews theoretical material on the basis of two works performed pursuant to translation standards of the Gelati Theological school: Gelati version of the interpretation of Ecclesiastes and the Torturing of St.

Barbara. The presented methodology (method of statistical qualifiers – V. Fooks, D. Melikishvili) has enabled us to critically review the conclusions that existed in scientific literature about the translators of the Gelati version of Exegesis of Ecclesiastes and of the Torturing of St. Barbara (Editions A and B) and set forth a new direction for the research. In our opinion, tackling the issue of a translator by way of such methodological aspects that entails the analysis of linguistic-terminological analysis of anonymous translations, in addition to written sources, should be noteworthy to the people interested in similar issues.
