I am a journalist working on the story of Shota Rustaveli. I am trying to gather the last research accounts on his life. It is well known he wrote the great poem "The knight in the panter's skeen" and that he dedicated it to Queen Tamar. It's also known he was her Finance Minister. It's known he went to Jerusalem to the Hly Cross Monastery and died there. The riddle is - was he exiled as a result of what he wrote about his love to her? Does anyone know more about this question mark? Please let me know. My Email is: arad2@netvision.net.il Thanks for your hints, S.Arad, Jerusalem

[edit] Somebody should rewrite this article in English
"In the Institute of Manuscripts ... are two leaves.." It's a word-for-word translation from Russian, besides clearly pages not leaves.
"All other lists of the poem belong ..." Probably from Russian "списки рукописи", unfortunately "list" does not have the same meaning in English.
[edit] Shota Rustaveli Portrait
One of the illustrations in this article has the following caption: "Shota Rustaveli, a painting by the French artist Fliert based on an old Georgian manuscript. 1852". I was wondering if anyone can identify the old Georgian manuscript on which it is based? It appears that this may be the model for the illustration I uploaded, which is a niello portrait. It would be interesting to include an image of the original illustration, if possible, for comparison, as it seems to be a model on which a number of portraits were based. --Picatrix (talk) 15:15, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Also, as far as I can tell this portrait is a cover for a purse, or coin pouch. I've come across a number of these in my travels. I wonder if anyone can tell me more about the use of decorative silver panels with portraits on the covers of purses or pouches. I've seen a number from the Caucasus - some with old photos, some with niello portraits. --Picatrix (talk) 15:22, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
