The present volume addresses this obscurity through introducing the concept of 'Connected Philology' from an interdisciplinary perspective. 'Connected Philology' explores underlying causes for similarities in philological practices: in the process of re-textualisation, written and oral traditions are translated, reformulated, and combined; the contact with foreign cultures leads to the expression of unfamiliar concepts in other lan.
