In February 1947, Robbins read of a United States Army Air Forces plan to fly the P-82 Twin Mustang fighter "Betty Jo" nonstop from Honolulu, Hawaii, to New York City. He suggested that the Navy have a P2V-1 Neptune patrol plane take off from Honolulu within 30 minutes of the P-82s departure and beat the P-82 to New York in order to steal the days glory from the Army Air Forces, but the Navy did not follow up on his idea.

paragraph: Alaide Gualberta Beccari

paragraph: Alaide Gualberta Beccari (born 1842 in Padua – died 1906) was an Italian feminist, republican, pacifist, and social reformer, who published the feminist journal "Woman" during the 1870s and 1880s.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Alaide Beccari was born in Padua in 1842, the only one of her parents' 12 children to survive to adulthood. Beccari's father was a civil servant in Padua, which was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time. Beccari's father was a supporter of Italian unification and joined the Risorgimento during the uprisings of 1848. When the uprising failed, he fled to Turin. She worked as her father's secretary for a time, then returned to Padua when it was captured by the forces of Lombardy-Venetia.

paragraph: At age 16, Beccari was living in Venice, where she launched the journal "Woman".

paragraph: Section::::"Woman".

paragraph: The journal "Woman" was published biweekly. Beccari's publication promoted women's rights following Italian unification in 1861. She was a social reformer, when moral and political reform were gaining popular support in Great Britain, France, the United States, and elsewhere as part of a larger Reform movement during the 19th century.

paragraph: "Woman" was a rare feminist voice in Italy during the 1870s and 1880s, and in the language of the period, it supported "woman's emancipation". Beccari, like other Italian feminists of her generation (such as Erminia Fuà, Aurelia Cimino Folliero, Sara Nathan, Giovanna Garcea, and Adelaide Cairoli) equated women's emancipation with Italian unification politics, referring to "the woman's "Risorgimento"". The journal "Woman" gave coverage to Anna Maria Mozzoni, who fought to reform Italy's laws regulating legalized prostitution. Mozzoni and Beccari publicized the concept of the "citizen woman" and "patriot mother". "Woman" also promoted the causes of Josephine Butler. Articles originally printed in "Woman" were translated and published abroad, in England's feminist journal "Englishwoman's Review". In 1877, "Woman" held a petition drive, garnering 3000 signatures in support of women's suffrage in Italy.

paragraph: Beccari believed that women could offer a nurturing counterbalance to masculine "militarism". She supported pacifist causes, and "Woman" frequently gave coverage to pacifist organizations, such as the founding of the International Association of Women (IAW) by Marie Goegg in Geneva in 1870.

paragraph: Beccari also wrote plays. She wrote "Un caso di divorzio" ("A Case of Divorce"), performed in 1881, which in retrospect has been criticized on its literary quality as "sentimental" and "predictable"; notably, there is no marriage for the second "wife" in the drama. However, the play is noteworthy for having been written and produced. Women writers in Italy were rare at the time, as most women were illiterate in Italy, and only a handful of other women were writing and producing plays in Italy during the period; Luisa Marenco-Martini-Bernardi, Irma Meladny Scodnik, and Amelia Rosselli were other women playwrights during this era in Italy. Women's suffrage came to Italy only with the collapse of the Fascist regime in 1945; divorce would be legalized in Italy only in 1970.

paragraph: Beccari was forced to end her editorship of "Woman" in 1887 due to ill health; Emilia Mariani took over as the editor of "Woman".

paragraph: Section::::Later years.

paragraph: Beccari continued writing, establishing a children's magazine called "Mamma". She offered support to other women writers trying to launch their careers.

paragraph: Beccari was discouraged by the lack of popular support for women's causes in Italy. She became a vocal supporter of socialism, which resulted in a loss of support from moderate feminists.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.

paragraph: Francisco Pozas made his professional wrestling debut in 1985, adopting the ring name "El Pantera" (Spanish for "the Panther"), an "enmascarado" who wore a panther-inspired mask and outfit. On August 9, 1987 El Pantera defeated Guerrero Samurai to win the Mexican National Lightweight Championship, a title he would hold and defend for the next 298 days before losing it back to Guerrero Samurai on June 2, 1988. After the title loss Pantera began teaming with Águila Solitaria and Ciclón Ramírez to form a group known as "Las Saetas del Ring" (Spanish for "The Arrows of the Ring"). Together "Las Saetas" won the Nuevo León State Trios Championship and the Veracruz State Trios Championship, before winning the 'Distrito Federal Trios Championship from "Los Tarascos" in April, 1991. "La Saetas" later lost the "Distrito Federal" Trios title to "Los Metalicos" (Oro, Plata and Bronce). In 1992 Pozas changed his ring character, adopting a colorful yellow, red and blue outfit and mask and the name "América" as he began working full-time for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). On March 8, 1992 América defeated Fuerza Guerrera to win the CMLL World Welterweight Championship, officially moving from the lightweight division (with a weight limit of ) to the Middleweight division (with a weight limit of ). América held the title for 131 days before losing the title to El Felino. In 1993 Pozas abandoned the América ring persona and became El Pantera once more. CMLL even acknowledge the change in characters as he was billed as a two time CMLL World Welterweight Champion when he defeated El Felino on June 21, 1994. Pantera held the title for over 600 days, with several successful defenses in the period. By March 1996 Pantera had decided to leave CMLL and lost the Welterweight title to Super Delfin while on tour in Japan. The title change was not sanctioned by CMLL, who stripped Pantera of the title and vacated it. Pantera ended up working for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) where he became the first ever IWRG Intercontinental Middleweight Champion when he defeated Tony Rivera in the finals of a tournament. Pantera held the title for 157 days in total before being defeated by El Hijo del Gladiador in early 1998. in 1997 Pantera began working for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), working a limited number of matches between 1997 and 1999, his highest profile match while in the WWF was a title match with then WWF World Light Heavyweight Champion Taka Michinoku at . By 2001 Pantera had mended fences with CMLL and began working for the promotion due to a working agreement between CMLL and IWRG. On March 2, 2001 Pantera defeated Nosawa to win his third CMLL World Welterweight Championship, holding it for just 31 days before Nosawa won the title back. After his brief run with the CMLL title Pantera focused more on IWRG winning their Middleweight title once more, defeating Ultimo Vampiro on January 24, 2002. 90 days later he lost the championship to Bombero Infernal. In 2005 Pantera joined a group called "La Corporacion", a group that also included Black Tiger and Pentagon Black among others, together the three defeated "Los Villaños" in a tournament to become the new IWRG Intercontinental Trios Champions on June 2, 2005. The trio held the title for 88 days until they lost to the Casas brothers (Negro Casas, El Felino and Heavy Metal). At some point during the early part of 2006 Pantera left "La corporacion" and began teaming with El Felino, who defeated Dr. Cerebro and Cerebro Negro to win the IWRG Intercontinental Tag Team Championship on June 29, 2006. On July 14, 2006 Pantera lost a "Lucha libre#Luchas de Apuestas" (bet match) to Misterioso, Jr., and as a result he was forced to unmask and reveal his real name per. Lucha Libre traditions. Only 16 days later Pantera became a double champion as he pinned El Venero to win the IWRG Middleweight title for the third time. His reign was ended by Nitro on October 9, 2006. The team of Pantera and Felino defended the title on several occasions until the CMLL/IWRG working agreement ended in 2007 and the team lost the titles to Los Junior Capos (Hijo de Cien Caras and Hijo de Mascara Año 2000) on May 31, 2007. Pantera began making appearances for the U.S. based Chikara, wearing his mask when working in the U.S. In 2008 Pantera teamed up with Lince Dorado and Incognito to win the 2008 King of Trios tournament. On September 16, 2015 "Los Panteras" lost the IWRG tag team titles to "Los Gringos VIP" (Apolo Estrada Jr. and El Hijo del Diablo) in a Steel cage match that also included "Los Traumas".

paragraph: Eachann Mór Maclean (1497–1568) or Hector Mor Maclean, or Hector Maclean the Great, was the 12th Chief of Maclean. Mór or Mor translates as "great" when added to a name in Scottish Gaelic. He was the 8th laird of Duart Castle.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born in 1497 in Scotland.

paragraph: Lachlan Cattanach Maclean, 11th Chief was succeeded as Chieftain and Laird of Duart by his son Eachann, better known as Hector Mor Maclean, or Hector the Great, in 1527. He is described by the seanachaidhs as being good, kind, affectionate, and brave, an accomplished politician and an approved warrior; and that in him the clan realized all it desired in a noble chieftain. To most of his vassals he granted extended leases, by way of encouragement in the improvement of lands and the building of more comfortable dwellings. He lived altogether, while permitted to do so by his troublesome neighbors with which he was surrounded, more like a noble of modern times than a feudal baron. He made many improvements on the demesne of Duard; and was the founder of that noble addition, the Great Tower, to Duart Castle. His alliance was courted by many of the powerful lords; and the king thought it of importance to secure his loyalty by calling him into his council. Hence, we find him taking his seat in parliament as one of the lords of the kingdom. In private life his character was above reproach, and in his warlike pursuits he acted upon that system which had legal sanction.

paragraph: Hector Mor Maclean died about the year 1568.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and children.

paragraph: Hector Mor Maclean married Mary MacDonald of Islay and the Glens, daughter of Alexander MacDonald, 5th of Dunnyveg, by whom he had two sons and seven daughters:

paragraph: Hugh Morrison (8 June 1868 – 15 March 1931) was a British Conservative Party politician.

paragraph: Al-Ashdaq

paragraph: ʿAmr ibn Saʿīd ibn al-ʿĀṣ ibn Umayya al-Umawī (; died 689/90), better known as al-Ashdaq (), was an Umayyad prince, general and contender for the caliphal throne. He served as the governor of Medina in 680, during the reign of Caliph Yazid I () and later fought off attempts by the Zubayrids to conquer Syria in 684 and 685 during the reign of Caliph Marwan I. His attempted coup against Caliph Abd al-Malik () in 689 ended with his surrender and ultimately his execution by Abd al-Malik himself.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Al-Ashdaq was the son of the Umayyad statesman Sa'id ibn al-'As and Umm al-Banin, a daughter of another Umayyad statesman, Marwan ibn al-Hakam. When Sa'id died in 679, al-Ashdaq became the leader of this branch of the Umayyad clan. At the end of the reign of Caliph Mu'awiya I (), he was governor of Mecca, but was then appointed governor of Medina at the accession of Caliph Yazid I (). When the Umayyads were driven out of Mecca during the revolt of Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr in 682, al-Ashdaq was ordered by Yazid to send an army against the Zubayrids in the city. Al-Ashdaq appointed Ibn al-Zubayr's own brother, Amr, to lead the expedition, but the force was defeated and Amr was executed by Ibn al-Zubayr. Toward the end of 683, al-Ashdaq was dismissed, Yazid died and was succeeded by his son, Mu'awiya II. The latter was ill and died a few months later, causing a leadership crisis in the Umayyad Caliphate, which saw most of its provinces recognize Ibn al-Zubayr as caliph.

paragraph: When the pro-Umayyad Arab tribal nobility of Syria, chief among them the chieftain of Banu Kalb, elected Marwan ibn al-Hakam as caliph at the Jabiyah summit of 684, it was stipulated that Yazid's then-young son Khalid would succeed Marwan, followed by al-Ashdaq. The latter commanded the right wing of Marwan's army during the Battle of Marj Rahit later that year, in which the Umayyads scored a resounding victory over the pro-Zubayrid Qaysi tribes of Syria. During Marwan's expedition to wrest control of Egypt from its Zubayrid governor in 685, al-Ashdaq was present, and delivered an address proclaiming Marwan's sovereignty from the pulpit of the mosque in Fustat. Afterward, al-Ashdaq was dispatched by Marwan to stave off an invasion of Palestine by Mus'ab ibn al-Zubayr, who was attempting to conquer Umayyad Syria during Marwan's absence. He then joined Marwan and took up residence in the Umayyad capital of Damascus. The caliph remained wary of al-Ashdaq's ambitions to the caliphate, particularly due to his popularity among the Syrian Arab nobility and his close kinship to Marwan, who was his maternal uncle and paternal relative as well. Marwan resolved to avoid the potential leadership bids of al-Ashdaq and Khalid by having his sons Abd al-Malik and Abd al-Aziz, in that order, recognized by the Syrian nobility as his chosen successors.

paragraph: Abd al-Malik succeeded his father in late 685, but remained suspicious of al-Ashdaq. The latter did not relinquish his claims and viewed Abd al-Malik's accession as a violation of the arrangements reached at Jabiyah. When the caliph left Damascus on a military campaign against Zubayrid-held Iraq in 689, al-Ashdaq took advantage of his absence to launch a revolt, seize the city and declare his right as sovereign. This compelled Abd al-Malik to abandon his campaign and address al-Ashdaq's rebellion. In the ensuing standoff in Damascus between their supporters, Abd al-Malik offered al-Ashdaq amnesty in return for his surrender, to which al-Ashdaq obliged. However, Abd al-Malik remained distrustful of al-Ashdaq and had him summoned to his palace in Damascus, where he personally executed him in 689/90.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Al-Ashdaq's sons Umayya, Sa'id, Isma'il and Muhammad were later reconciled with Abd al-Malik following the latter's victory over the Zubayrids in 692. Sa'id, who had participated in his father's revolt, subsequently migrated to Medina, then to Kufa. He became a mentor of Khalid al-Qasri, who served as governor of Iraq in 724–738.

paragraph: Hatim ibn Ibrahim

paragraph: Hatim ibn Ibrahim al-Hamidi (died 16 Muharram 596 AH, 6 November 1199 AD), Al-Hutaib, Yemen) was the third Tayyibi Isma'ili "Dāʿī al-Muṭlaq" (Absolute Missionary). He was of the Banu Hamdan tribe of Yemen and succeeded his father, the 2nd Dai Sayedna Ibrahim, to the religious post.

paragraph: Syedna Hatim was the first Dai to venture into the Yemeni political field after the era under the rule of the Sulayhid Queen Arwa al-Sulayhi and her political patronage. Zaydi-Shia imams began to wage war against the Ismaili-Shia., It is in this context that Syedna Hatim became interested in territorial acquisition and becoming military power as a security requisition for the Taiyabi Ismailis.

paragraph: Banu Zuwahi, offered mountain-peak fortress of Kawkaban near San’aa to Syedna Hatim in 561/1166. San’aa was under the rule of Sultan Ali b. Hatim al-Yami of the Hamdan tribe. Perceiving a threat to his own sovereignty, Sultan Ali proceeded to lay siege to Kawkaban. A trusted associate of the Dai Ahmad al-Hibri betrayed him. Ahmad al-Hibri accepted a bribe from Sultan Ali, gave him vital information about the Dai’s arrangements, and persuaded others in Kawkaban to turn against him, and forced Hatim to left Kawkaban. He went to Lu’lu’a and Ray’an, two smaller fortresses some distance away. But Sultan Ali pursued him there with his troops and the Dai’s reluctance to cause further strife among the Hamdan qabila prompted him to relinquish his hopes for acquiring territories in the San’aa region. He decided to move to the mountainous Haraz region, where there had been Ismailis from the time of the first Sulayhid ruler. In the next few years a series of successful military expeditions gradually brought most of Haraz under the Dai’s control. The core of his army was the Ya’aabir qabila, and their chief Amir Sabaa b. Yusuf.

paragraph: Followers used to come to Syedna Hatim from all over Haraz and just below Hutaib was a cave known as Al-Kahf ul-N`eem where he used to preach to them.

paragraph: Amongst his many works of literature are: Al-Majaalis al Hatimiyyah, Risalato Tohfatil Quluub, Tanbeehul Ghafileen and Al-Shumuus ul- Zaherah.

paragraph: In San’aa, the Dawat was ably managed by the Dai’s Mazoon, Syedna Mohammad b. Taher al-Haaresi.

paragraph: Takeoff (rapper)

paragraph: Kirshnik Khari Ball (born June 18, 1994), known professionally as Takeoff, is an American rapper, singer and songwriter. He is best known as a member of the hip hop trio Migos along with Quavo, his uncle, and Offset, his cousin.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Takeoff was born Kirshnik Khari Ball in Lawrenceville, Georgia, which is in Gwinnett County, near Atlanta. He was raised by his mother, along with family members Quavo and Offset.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.:Migos (2008–present).

paragraph: Along with fellow family members Quavo and Offset, Takeoff began rapping in 2008. The group initially performed under the stage name Polo Club, but eventually changed their name to Migos. The group released their first full length project, a mixtape titled Juug Season, on August 25, 2011. They followed with the mixtape No Label, on June 1, 2012.

paragraph: Migos initially rose to prominence after the release of their single "Versace", in 2013. The song was remixed by Canadian rapper Drake and peaked at number 99 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart and number 31 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

paragraph: Their debut studio album, "Yung Rich Nation", was released in July 2015, and featured guest appearances from Chris Brown and Young Thug, and production from Zaytoven and Murda Beatz. The album peaked at number 17 on the "Billboard" 200.

paragraph: Migos achieved their first number one single in 2016 with "Bad and Boujee" featuring Lil Uzi Vert, peaking on the "Billboard" Hot 100 during the week of January 21, 2017. The song has gone on to be certified four times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). While he can be seen in one of the background scenes in the music video, Takeoff is not featured nor credited on the song. Takeoff himself has claimed that he was not featured on the song because he was busy at the time of recording. On June 24, 2017, during filming of "Complex"s Everyday Struggle at the BET Awards 2017, he was questioned about his absence by hosts Joe Budden and DJ Akademiks, to which he replied, "Do it look like I'm left off "Bad and Boujee"?". Takeoff's response caused Budden to leave the set, and an altercation between Migos and Budden and their entourages almost took place before it was broken up by security.

paragraph: Migos' second studio album, "Culture", was released on January 27, 2017, debuting at number 1 on the US "Billboard" 200, moving 131,000 album-equivalent units, including 44,000 copies sold, during its first week of release. The album went on to achieve platinum certification in the country in July 2017.

paragraph: The group's second album, "Culture II", was released on January 26, 2018. It became Migos' second album to debut at number 1 on the "Billboard" 200, moving 199,000 equivalent units, including 38,000 copies sold, in its first week of release.

paragraph: Section::::Legal issues.

paragraph: Section::::Legal issues.:2015: Georgia Southern University incident.

paragraph: On April 18, 2015, Migos were scheduled to headline Georgia Southern University's 2015 Spring concert at Hanner Fieldhouse. The show started at 7:00 pm with local opening acts; however, the group took the stage nearly an hour and a half later than their scheduled 9:00 pm set time. Although their performance contract stipulated a minimum 45 minute set length, the group performed for less than 30 minutes before leaving the stage. The University Police Department, the Statesboro Police Department and the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office, who were present at the concert as security detail, detected a strong scent of marijuana from the group's vans, and the drivers were questioned by law enforcement. Upon further investigation, the rap trio and 12 members of their entourage were arrested for possession of marijuana and another controlled substance, possession of firearms within a school safety zone, possession of firearms during the commission of a crime, and possession of firearms by convicted felons.

paragraph: While university officials had been aware of Migos' reputation, the group were allowed to perform as the student body had voted to have the group perform among seven acts that were up for consideration, and student fees and ticket sales were used to pay for the concert. According to the performance contract, the group were to be paid $30,000 with their promoter Big House Collective receiving an additional $3,000. University officials initially sought to put Migos in breach of contract due to the group's late arrival, shortened performance, and possession of contraband on university property; however, the university ultimately paid half of the agreed upon fees.

paragraph: On April 20, 2015, Takeoff, Quavo, and six members of their entourage were released on bond by the Bulloch County District Attorney's Office while Offset and six others remained in custody without bond. As a result of their arrests, on April 28, 2015, Migos announced they would postpone their Yung Rich Nation Tour until July.

paragraph: Section::::Legal issues.:2017: Atlanta flight incident.

paragraph: On July 7, 2017, Takeoff was asked to be taken off a flight from Atlanta to Des Moines, Iowa, after he reportedly refused to move his bag from the floor to an overhead storage bin prior to takeoff.

paragraph: Ding Darling

paragraph: Jay Norwood Darling (October 21, 1876 – February 12, 1962), better known as Ding Darling, was an American cartoonist who won two Pulitzer Prizes.

paragraph: Darling was born in Norwood, Michigan, where his parents, Marcellus and Clara, had recently moved so that Marcellus could begin work as a minister. In 1886, the family moved to Sioux City, Iowa. Darling began college in 1894 at Yankton College in South Dakota and moved to Beloit College in Wisconsin the following year. There he became art editor of the yearbook and began signing his work with a contraction of his last name, D'ing, a nickname that stuck.

paragraph: Section::::Editorial cartoons.

paragraph: In 1900, Ding became a reporter for the "Sioux City Journal". Following his marriage to Genevieve Pendleton in 1906, he began work with the "Des Moines Register and Leader". In 1911, he moved to New York and worked with the "New York Globe" but went back to Des Moines in 1913. Three years later, in 1916, he returned to New York and accepted a position with the "New York Herald Tribune". By 1919, Darling returned a final time to Des Moines where he continued his career as a cartoonist, winning the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 1924 and again in 1943. His cartoons were published from 1917 to 1949 in the "New York Herald Tribune".

paragraph: Section::::Wildlife conservation.

paragraph: Darling penned some conservation cartoons and he was an important figure in the conservation movement. President Franklin Roosevelt appointed him to a blue ribbon Committee on Wildlife Restoration in 1934, FDR sought political balance by putting the Hoover Republican on the committee, knowing he was an articulate advocate for wildlife management.

paragraph: Darling initiated the Federal Duck Stamp program and designed the first stamp. Roosevelt appointed him as head of the U.S. Biological Survey, forerunner of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The J. N.

paragraph: Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani

paragraph: Prince Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani ( ) (November 4, 1658 – January 26, 1725) was a Georgian writer and diplomat. Orbeliani is noted in part due to his important role as an emissary of Georgia to France and Vatican, where he vainly sought assistance on behalf of his beleaguered King Vakhtang VI.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Sulkhan Orbeliani was born into the House of Orbeliani, with close ties to the Georgian royal Bagrationi dynasty. He was a great figure of the Renaissance; he was a remarkable fabulist, great lexicographer, translator, diplomat and scientist. The words of one of the French missioner, Jean Richard, testify to his great authority among his contemporaries, "I believe him to be the father of all Georgia."

paragraph: Sulkhan Saba Orbeliani was born on 4 November 1658, in Village Tandzia near Bolnisi in the Kvemo Kartli. He spent his childhood and adolescence there. He was brought up at the court of King Giorgi XI and acquired his encyclopedic knowledge in the Great Palace Library. When he was 20–25 years old he wrote a collection of fables and tales "Sibrdzne Sitsruisa" (A Book of Wisdom and Lies, Georgian "სიბრძნე სიცრუისა"), containing the observations he had made about life. The reader feels how ably, deliberately and naturally the author weaves together his ideas about the lives of both humans and animals. Orbeliani understands both the light and the dark side of human nature and human experience. He describes many aspects of life, answers many questions, and encourages the reader towards greater kindness and compassion.

paragraph: His next important work was "The Georgian Dictionary", which combines both a lexicon and an encyclopedia. (it is necessary to emphasize that “the world does not know the encyclopedia yet. Collection of these words is a great treasure. The first volume was published in 1754; The French Academy published the French language dictionary only in 1685” A. Jikia)

paragraph: His immortal genius is mostly shown in his works, which became the most popular monuments of the Georgian literature together with “The Knight in the Panther's Skin" (the poem of the 12th century of the greatest Georgian poet and philosopher Shota Rustaveli). We can say a lot about his immortal works, but it is impossible to reproduce everything in a few pages. Therefore, I would emphasize only some significant episodes from his biography.

paragraph: Sulkhan Saba Orbeliani was an educator of the King of Kartli Vakhtang VI. Remarkable poet and scientist Vakhtang VI was the leader of the great movement initiated for intellectual renaissance of Georgia. They founded a lot of glorious deeds in the cultural sphere. In 1709 the first printing-house was established, where for the first time the Gospel and “The Knight in the Panther's Skin

paragraph: ”, were printed. During this period the Georgian chronicles were collected and it became the basis of the Georgian historiography. We see Sulkhan Saba Orbeliani in the center of the political and social life of the country together with Vakhtang VI. Sulkhan was searching methods of releasing of the country from Osmans. In 1698 Sulkhan became a monk at the Monastery David Gareji. Since then he was called Sulkhan-Saba.

paragraph: Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani appealed to the West for assistance. The growth of his state authority was crowned with his diplomatic missions. The route of travel of the great Georgian figure was as follows: Constantinople, Marseilles, Paris, Rome, and other cities of Italy and finally back to Georgia through Constantinopol and Turkey. In Paris Sulkhan-Saba appeared before Ludwig XIV and in Italy before the Papa Clemente XI. They knew that he was considered to be the Father of all Georgia and therefore they treated him as an honourable guest. He again appeared before Louis XIV. He made a good impression at the French court with his manners, eloquence, business proposals, showing great diplomatic talent. This is what kind of admiration his visit caused at the court of the French king: ”It is happiness that we have got an advantage to see the Wisdom of Solomon and divine grace with our own eyes in the person of Your Greatness”. France promised assistance to Georgia, but the pages of history did not keep the facts, certifying this great will. Soon Louis XIV deceased. The ruling circles in France changed and relations with countries of the Near East became aggravated. Concrete historical circumstance made the travel of Sulkhan-Saba unsuccessful, his attempts to bring Georgia and states of Western Europe together turned out to be all in vain.

paragraph: Section::::Religion.

paragraph: Before becoming a monk of David-Garedja Monastery 1698 under the name Saba, he converted to the Roman Catholic Church (1692). He originally practiced his new religion in secret. After 1703 he made spreading the Catholic faith in Georgia a major policy of King Vakhtang VI, who had been his pupil. In 1713-1714 he made a journey to the Holy See and to France. He visited Pope Clement XI and King Louis XIV and requested aid from them for King Vakhtang and the Catholic Faith in Kartli (East-Georgian Kingdom). After his return to Kartli he actively began trying to spread Catholicism in Georgia. Therefore, was Georgian Orthodox Church very hostile to him and persecuted him. In 1724 he fled with King Vakhtang to the Russian Empire.

paragraph: Prince Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani was the creator of a new literary Georgian language. His dictionary for the language is still essential for those who wish to learn Georgian today.
