Editorial
On the difference between applying a tradition and borrowing its vocabulary.
This is sample content prepared to demonstrate the journal platform. The published version would continue with the full argument, its evidence and its apparatus.
Sources are cited by edition, chapter and verse where a primary text carries the argument. Where a translation is the author’s own, it is marked as such.
Claims about a tradition are distinguished from the author’s inference, and modern scientific or social claims are supported by contemporary evidence rather than asserted.
