Thus, this history of Queen Tamar musthave been written between 1210 – 1211 and 1225.
Judjing by his outlook, this second historian of Tamar advocates antocracy. Hence he avoids the description of the political events that occurred Tamar's reign; he endeavours to assure the reader that all the occurrences of Tamar's reign were willed by her. In other respects the work is an impeccable source, containing a narration of many facts unknown from other sources. The language is clear and vivid, the author being an educated and knowledgably person. From the viewpoint of coverage of events and reliability of evidence the author under discussion is one of the best among the historians represented in Kartlis Tskhovreba.
The present edition of the Russian translation of,,The Life of the Queen of Queens Tamar” is furnished with notes and indexes.
