It will bring to light the richness of philological traditions in their mutual interaction in the Near and Middle East, in East Asia, on the Indian subcontinent, in North, East and West Africa, and in Europe. This comparison will reveal specific similarities and differences, and continuities and discontinuities, yielding insights far beyond the current state of the art.
