Frontmatter -- CONTENTS -- List of Illustrations -- Introduction: Commentary at the Crossroads -- Graeco-Roman Commentary beyond Alexandria: Problems and Prospects -- From Plane to Space: The Narrative Arc of a Byzantine Mathematical Manual -- Periodization in the Sunni Qur’an Commentary Tradition: A Chronological History of a Genre -- On the Practice of Autocommentary in Sanskrit Sources -- Oral Commentaries and Scholarly Debates in Sanskrit Philosophy -- On the Nature of Chinese Buddhist Scriptural Exegesis: Observations on the Commentaries of Chengguan, Woncheuk, and Other Sui-Tang Exegetes -- The Mise-en-Page of a Sino-Tibetan Dunhuang Manuscript: Yuanhui’s Commentary on the Laṅkāvatārasūtra -- Commentary and Multilingualism in the Ottoman Reception of Texts: Three Perspectives -- Index
Summary: The comparative or connected study of localized intellectual traditions poses special challenges to the global turn in medieval studies. How can we enable conversations across language groups and intricate cultural formations, as well as disciplines? Practices of commentary offer a compelling opportunity: their visual layouts reveal assumptions about the relative status of text and gloss, while interpretive interlinear or marginal prompts capture the dynamic relationships among generations of teachers, students, and readers. The material traces of manuscript usage—from hastily scrawled marginal notes to vivid rubrication—illuminate the shared didactic and communicative practices developed within scholarly communities. By bringing together researchers working on specific cultures and discourses across Eurasia, this volume moves toward a global account of premodern commentary traditions.
