The paper outlines the role of Georgian background in the hypothetic Georgian-Greek project "Buddha-Iodasaf-Josaphat". Examination of the extraordinary bilingual literary works of Euthymius the Athonite highlights important features of the phenomenon "Barlaam and Josaphat", which was considered as just a "popular book" for a millennium until it was comprehended as the first step on the long journey to the European Enlightenment and the authorship of Euthymius was finally recognized. This fact not only reunited the great Georgian-Greek tandem "Balavariani"-"Barlaam and Josaphat" divided over centuries in consequence of misunderstanding, but also gave a new dimension to the figure of Euthymius. Although the reassessment has just begun, we can already assume that this process will gain a qualitative character. Along with the comprehension of Byzantine and European context of Euthymius the Athonite's heritage, historians will have to newly analyze the Georgian civilization breakthrough of the 11 th-12 th centuries, mainly inspired by the same Euthymius the Athonite. "Barlaam and Josaphat" will appear with yet another new facet as the realization of the Georgian cultural potential to give an impetus to the thousand-year process of convergence of East and West, peoples and religions. The process of attribution of "Barlaam and Josaphat" lasting for centuries overshadowed its artistic merits and role in the development of European literature. For instance, there is not a single word about these maxims in the relevant article of the Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium [1], devoted exclusively to the issue of attribution. Real discussion of "Barlaam and Josaphat" as the great masterpiece of the Middle Ages, began only in the 21 th century. Researchers of the problem unanimously emphasize the outstanding literary merits and the immense spheres of its influence [2-5]. Not waiting the disclosure of complete picture, Silvia Ronchey [2,5] gives brief remarks about the known literature generated by the novel.
