Abstract:

Was plurilingualism the exception or the norm in traditional Eurasian
scholarship? This volume presents a selection of primary sources—in
many cases translated into English for the first time—with
introductions that provide fascinating historical materials for
challenging notions of the ways in which traditional Eurasian scholars
dealt with plurilingualism and monolingualism. Comparative in
approach, global in scope, and historical in orientation, it engages
with the growing discussion of plurilingualism and focuses on
fundamental scholarly practices in various premodern and early modern
societies—Chinese, Indian, Mesopotamian, Jewish, Islamic, Ancient
Greek, and Roman—asking how these were conceived by the agents
themselves. The volume will be an indispensable resource for courses
on these subjects and on the history of scholarship and reflection on
language throughout the world.
