- Abstract:
- Old Georgian literary schools of 11th-12th centuries aimed at being deeper integrated into the eastern-Christian world. They though it expedient to master the Greeks' cultural achievements as much as it was possible for this purpose. This was mostly revealed in translation. Georgian exegetes supplied the translations of the explanations of Byzantine authors with interesting commentaries and footnotes, which provided a lot of lexicographical data. When explaining words Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani (17th century), the author of the first Georgian explanatory dictionary, made wide use of the lexicological commentaries of Georgian exegetes. A special study revealed that the explanations of Georgian exegetes were the direct source Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani resorted to. In many cases these explanations are repeated word for word. The only difference is that in the 11th-12th centuries this was conditioned only by philological interests, while Orbeliani resorted to it for the codification of the lexical fund of the Georgian language. Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani's dictionary attests to the fact that in the 17th-18th century's linguistic researches in Georgia was based on and continued the traditions of the linguistic study founded in the 11th-12th centuries. In paper it's discussed the important issues related with the explanation, distribution, sintagmatic possibilities and paradigmatical unities of words in the commentaries and footnotes of the old Georgian exegetes and in the first Georgian explanatory dictionary by Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani.
