Literary Traditions
A literary tradition (instance of syriaca:LiteraryTradition) is a type of work record which groups together multiple works so closely associated that they are often not distinguished from one another. This may include different recensions of a work or different tellings of a narrative, and so on.
- Alexandra (literary tradition) groups together four hagiographical works (http://syriaca.org/work/410, http://syriaca.org/work/633, http://syriaca.org/work/634, and http://syriaca.org/work/635) about the person Alexandra, each of which has somewhat different incipits and explicits and is represented in different manuscripts and editions.
- The Bible is a literary tradition containing the Peshitta and Syro-Hexapla translations, which are themselves literary traditions.
A record should be created for a literary tradition only when there are already one or more work records that will be related to it. (See Relating Works to Literary Traditions below.)
