Summary: "Canonisation is fundamental to the sustainability of cultures. This volume is meant as a (theoretical) exploration of the process, taking Eurasian societies from roughly the first millennium BCE (Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian, Greek, Egyptian, Jewish and Roman) as case studies. It focuses on canonisation as a form of cultural formation, asking why and how canonisation works in this particular way and explaining the importance of the first millennium BCE for these question and vice versa. As a result of this focus, notions like anchoring, cultural memory, embedding and innovation play an important role throughout the book"--

This book will appeal to specialists in Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian, Greek, Egyptian, Jewish and Roman cultures but even more to those interested in the interactions between these societies as they can be investigated through processes of canonisation, anchoring, cultural memory, embedding and innovation.
