Description: The Ancient Jerusalem Hymnal, known in Georgian as Iadgari, presents the first complete English translation of the proper hymns for the major annual feasts celebrated in the city around the end of the sixth century. These festal hymns, among the largest early Christian chant corpora, preserve thousands of lines of theological poetry.
