WiP: “Muslim Youth in Christian Georgia: ‘True & Untrue Islam’”

The integration of the Muslim community of Georgia into the wider Georgian society is a topic that seems to have fallen off of many people’s radar after defeat of ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

At the same time and consequently, the Muslim youth is among the most vulnerable groups, continuously searching for purpose. This lecture aims to present the findings of an ongoing research project, reflecting key obstacles for the community in general on the one hand and for the local Muslim youth on the other.

WiP: “The miracle of St George, the princess and the dragon — The earliest texts and images”

Although the narrative of St George rescuing a princess from a dragon is one of the most popular legends from medieval Christian hagiography, the earliest stages of its creation and diffusion remain obscure. By the end of the 12th century, the princess-and-dragon miracle (henceforth, PDM) appeared in Greek and Latin manuscripts, and was depicted in frescoes throughout Georgia and northern Russia, and an icon at the St Catherine Monastery in Sinai. While the Crusades doubtlessly contributed to the spread of the PDM, and more generally, of the cult of George as patron of Christian warriors, the origin of the PDM predates the arrival of the first crusaders in the Holy Lands. Its earliest known appearance is in the codex Jer Geo 2, probably written at the Georgian monastery of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem in the late 11th-c.
