The Mokvi Gospel (Q-902), preserved at the National Centre of Manuscripts, is an outstanding specimen of Georgian calligraphic art and miniature painted of the turn of the 13th -14th centuries. The MS was copied - conjecturally in the Mokvi monastery scriptorium - in 1300 by the monk Eprem.
The artistic appearance of the Manuscript is determined by the miniatures inserted in the text and characteristic details of decoration.
The manuscripts stands out with an abundance of miniatures - unusual for the 13th-14th centuries: its especial artistic peculiarity lies in the miniatures done on sheet gold; the visual aspect of the codex is made up of 155 subject miniatures, 10 canon tables, 4 portraits of the Evangelists and up to 530 capital letters and initials.
The artistic appearance of the Mokvi Four Gospels, as a monument belonging to the Byzantine area, follows the iconographic models preserved in Georgian and Byzantine tradition.
The Gospel has come down to us in a rather damaged form; the leaves disintegrated from moisture clearly show the heavy plight of the painting.
