In his article ‘Caucasica’ Professor H. W. Bailey drew attention to an interesting article by A. Shanidze, ‘The newly-discovered alphabet of the Caucasian Albanians and its significance for science’, in a sadly inaccessible periodical. ‘The discovery of the lost alphabet was made by I. Abuladze in an Armenian manuscript of the fifteenth century containing a miscellany of alphabets, Greek, Syriac, Latin, Georgian, Coptic, Arabic, and Albanian.’
