THE REGULATION OF MONKS
This is a relatively late account by the Syriac Patriarch of Antioch regarding the state of the church in Georgia. Its historic value for that reason is limited, as it does not grant much information about the antiquity of the ancient church in Iberia. However, it does serve as a reasonable travel log for the state of Christians in Ottoman Iberia during the 17th century. Our author appears to be concerned about the state of the church given the persecution that was levied upon it by Turkish authorities, and recounts that he feels additional attention needs to be paid for its future restoration.
