Canonical Texts and Scholarly Practices. A Global Comparative Approach, Paperback

This book presents a major collection of essays that expand our vision of the history of textual practices. It explores the multiple ways across time and cultures in which texts have been selected for entry into official canons and then verified, corrected, glossed, interpreted, illustrated, excerpted, performed, archived, and otherwise put to use.

Illustrations: 27 Halftones, black and white; 4 Line drawings, black and white
