Why did Georgian literary production decline for two centuries after the medieval golden age?

The decline of Georgian literary production for two centuries following the medieval golden age was primarily caused by the devastating foreign invasions of the country. Specifically, the invasions by Genghis Khan in the 1220s and by Timur in the 1390s resulted in the loss of a significant portion of the literature created during the golden age and effectively halted further literary output for two centuries.1

It is important to note that the term "Georgian poetry" in some contexts refers to a 20th-century group of British poets and is unrelated to the history of literature from the nation of Georgia. The literary renaissance in Georgia did not begin to recover until the early 17th century.21
