Abstract:
In this collective volume, members of the AnonymClassic project will discuss, from different perspectives, a core aspect of their work with Kalīla and Dimna: the study of variation. The aim is to shed light on Kalīla and Dimna’s variance—or textual instability, in the framework of Bernard Cerquiglini—and typologies of textual mobility/mouvance across linguistic traditions and historical periods. How can these dynamics best be described, analyzed, and classified? What were the reasons for the remarkable mobility of this book; who were the agents that intervened; and how?
