- The first contents-based analysis of the function and structure of the Arabo-Persian branch of the seminal Kalila and Dimna fable collection. It is also the first analysis of its 15th century Persian version, hitherto violently criticised for its style, shown to be in fact a tour de force of cognitive training, thus creating awareness of conscious uses of early-modern Persian prose beyond its narrative/informative functions. I also highlight the unreliable grounds for the traditional theory that Kalila and Dimna originates in Sanskrit, creating the need to revisit the bases of this received idea, with possible watershed consequences for the field.
