1009-1065Giorgi Mtatsmindeli The translator mentions the LCF damage, and notes its
presence in animals.
Fragment from the book Giorgi Mtatsmindeli (tran.). Old
Testament. Genesis (გიორგი მთაწმინდელი. ძველი აღთქმა. დაბადება). The translator lived in Georgia and Greece in
1009-1065. Giorgi Mtatsmindeli has
been verified by us as the earliest Georgian author to mention LCF in his work.
The edition of the translation was presumably created in the Iviron Monastery
on Mount Athos (Athos peninsula, Greece) after 1039/1040. Most likely,
the translation of the book of the «Genesis» was made from the Greek «Septuagint». Giorgi Mtatsmindeli mentions
the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) damage, and notes its presence in animals.
The translator used the terms «ძარღუსა» and «ძარღჳ» to
denote LCF (ძარღვი = sinew). The text is prepared for machine translation using a
service built into the blog from Google or your web browser. See our commentary at the link: 1039-1065GiorgiMtatsmindeli [Rus].
