The contributions engage with primary sources (including texts, images, material artefacts, monuments, as well as archaeological sites and landscapes) and draw needed attention to highly adaptable, innovative, and dynamic modes of cultural production within traditional idioms. The volume works to develop categories of historical analysis that cross disciplinary boundaries and represent a wide variety of methodological concerns. By revisiting premodern sources, Asia Beyond Boundaries also addresses critical issues of temporality and periodization that attend established categories in Asian Studies, such as the ?Classical Age? or the ?Gupta Period?. This volume represents the culmination of the European Research Council (ERC) Synergy project Asia Beyond Boundaries: Religion, Region, Language and the State, a research consortium of the British Museum, the British Library and the School of Oriental and African Studies, in partnership with Leiden University. 410 0$aBeyond Boundaries 606 $aRELIGION / Comparative Religion$2bisacsh 607 $aAsia$xHistory$vSources 607 $aAsia$xHistory$yTo 1500 610 $aGupta age. 610 $aSource criticism. 610 $acultural production. 610 $atransdisciplinarity. 615 7$aRELIGION / Comparative Religion. 676 $a950.1 700 $aCecil$b Elizabeth A$4auth$0929186 702 $aBisschop$b Peter Christiaan$f1973-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCecil$b Elizabeth A.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAmy Paris$b Langenberg$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBryan J$b Cuevas$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aCsaba$b Dezs?$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aElizabeth A$b Cecil$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aEmmanuel$b Francis$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aHans T$b Bakker$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aJames L$b Fitzgerald$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aJanice$b Stargardt$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aLaxshmi Rose$b Greaves$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMax$b Deeg$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMiriam T$b Stark$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPeter C$b Bisschop$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 712 02$aEuropean Research Council (ERC)$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 801 2$bUkMaJRU 856 0$aBeyond boundaries (Walter De Gruyter & Co.) ;$v8. 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437648003321 996 $aPrimary sources and Asian pasts$93384098 997 $aUNINA
