Abstract

The article ascertains that academician Ekvtime Takaishvili (1863-1953), great Georgian scholar and public figure, who was canonized by the Holy Synod of the Georgian Apostolic Autocephalous Orthodox Church in 2002, was brought up, formed and lived within a traditional Georgian family. E. Takaishvili’s ancestors comprised the reputable representatives of the prominent Georgian gentry and princely families, correspondingly Takaishvilis and Nakashidzes. Ekvtime Takaishvili was much assisted by his outstanding spouse, Nino Poltorazkaya (1869-1931; whose mother was Gabashvili), a descendant of a notable Polish family but brought up according to Georgian traditions.
