Visramiani by Sargis Tmogveli
Visramiani (also known as 'Visramiani : the story of the loves of Vis and Ramin : a romance of ancient Persia') is traditionally attributed to Sargis Tmogveli (Sargis of T'mogvi), a 12th/13th-century statesman and writer active during the reign of Queen Tamar (r. 1184-1213). It is a medieval Georgian version of the old Iranian love story Vis and Ramin originally written in Pahlavi by Fakhraddin Gorgani.
Visramiani was first edited and published by I.Chavchavadze, A.Saradjishvili and P.Umicashvili in 1884 and first introduced to the English-speaking world through the translation by Sir Oliver Wardrop in 1914.
