Grigol of Khandzta
Grigol of Khandzta was a Georgian monk and saint who founded the monastery of Khandzta in Klarjeti and organised a network of monasteries in the south-western borderlands of Georgia. Supported by the Bagratid princes, his foundations became centres of learning, manuscript copying and church building. His life, written by Giorgi Merchule in 951, is a key source for early Bagratid Georgia.
