The Knight In The Panther's Skin

The Knight in the Panther's Skin (Georgian: ვეფხისტყაოსანი pronounced [vɛpʰxist'q'ɑosɑni] literally 'one with a skin of a tiger') is a Georgian medieval epic poem, written in the 12th century by Georgia's national poet Shota Rustaveli.[1] A definitive work of the Georgian Golden Age, the poem consists of over 1600 Rustavelian Quatrains and is considered to be a 'masterpiece of the Georgian literature'.[2] Until the early 20th century, a copy of this poem was part of the dowry of any bride.[3][4
