Prince Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani (November 4, 1658 in Tandzia, Georgia; January 26, 1725 in Moscow) was a Georgian prince, writer, monk and convert to Roman Catholicism. Sulkhan Orbeliani was born into a prestigious dynasty of the Georgian nobility, with close ties to the 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 brilliantly conform to his great authority among his contemporaries, I believe him to be the father of all Georgia."
