The poetry of Teimuraz Iâs marks a turning point in Georgian literary history. From 1629â34, the poet-king of Kartli and Kaxetia (eastern Georgia) undertook to produce a Georgian equivalent to NizÌ£aÌmÄ« GanjevÄ«âs famed quintet (khamsa) that stands as one of the major achievements of classical Persian literature. This chapter explores Teimuraz Iâs engagement with JÄmÄ« and with the wider Persian tradition in order to gain a deeper understanding of translation and imitation in the early modern Persianate world. In conceiving of translation as a kind of appropriation, Teimuraz Iâs engagement with the romances of NizÌ£aÌmÄ« and JÄmÄ« offers an alternative to the current understanding of translation as the wholesale reproduction of a syntactical unit. The forms of intertextuality cultivated by these premodern translation practices indicate the limitations of contemporary understandings of translation for tracking YÅ«suf u ZulaykhÄâs multilingual circulation across the Persianate world. Teimuraz I turned to Persian, I argue, less for the sake of the fictional patrons and beloveds he praises so elaborately, than for the sake of a literary future he brought into being by grafting his tale, composed in the inferior Georgian tongue, onto a more durable Persianate ethos. While attending to the constraints and possibilities that were opened up by Teimuraz Iâs status as a vassal of multiple á¹¢afavÄ«d rulers, I also consider the variegated meanings wielded by translation, influence, and vernacular literary expression across the early modern Persianate world.
