This volume stems from the understanding that historiographical
analyses of the Gita's reception overlook the element of its
translation. It begins with this recognition and posits translation
as fundamental to any understanding of the Gita's reception. It
examines in depth and compares how translations of the Gita do not
seek the same aims in all places and at all times and recognizes
that translation theories and methodologies are not uniform across
nations and eras. Therefore, this volume looks at insolites
(unusual, strange) readings of the Gita and how they seek to fill
the hermeneutical gap between readings tied to its canonical and
scriptural status and those that are distant from the text's
tradition.
