How did the invasions of Genghis Khan affect Georgian literature?

The invasions of Genghis Khan in the 1220s had a devastating impact on Georgian literature, effectively bringing the nation's cultural golden age to an end.12

These invasions resulted in the loss of a significant portion of the literary works created during that period, leaving behind only a fraction of what was originally written. Furthermore, the destruction caused by these incursions, compounded by later invasions by Timur in the 1390s, effectively halted literary production in Georgia for two centuries. It was not until the early 17th century that a literary renaissance began to emerge.12
