Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of an interdisciplinary study of the cultural genome – Rustaveli’s poem, its connection with the Holy Scriptures and functionality as a marker of national cultural code. The research is conducted for the first time. Works by G. Duby, P.Ricker, R. Bartes, M. Foucault, N. Antsiferov, Y. Lotman, Jeff. C. Alexander and others are used as a methodological basis; we also used materials in the Rustvelological Studies (K.Kekelidze, A.Baramidze, S.Tsaishvili, N.Sulava, etc.) as well as the author’s own research.
