<span class="mw-page-title-main">Georgian manuscripts of Saint Paul's letters</span>

Paul's epistles are Paul the Apostle's letters, which are among the most important parts of New Testament. In those letters are told old Christian dogmas, which preceded the development of the religion. The first versions of The epistles are preserved in the form of manuscripts. They are created between X-XIV centuries in various churches and monasteries. Under those circumstances, they differ from each other both sides in content (structural) and morphological-orthographic. As soon as the state symbols were formed in Georgia, the country chose the European path, striving for its values. In the second and third centuries, Christianity evolved in Europe, which changed their political life as well. Therefore, for Georgia, Christianity was not only a precondition for religion but also for political stability.
