Canonisation as Innovation : : Anchoring Cultural Formation in the First Millennium BCE /

Canonisation as Innovation : : Anchoring Cultural Formation in the First Millennium BCE / / edited by Damien Agut-Labordère and Miguel John Versluys.

Drawing on case-studies from the first millennium BCE, this volume explores canonisation as a form of cultural formation. The book asks why and how canonisation works and thereby investigates the importance of the concept of anchoring to arrive at innovation in particular.
