Dedicated to the chief Sabdan Baatır, the Codex occupies an illuminating position in a network of oral and written genres that encompassed epic poetry and genealogy, panegyric and steppe oral historiography; that echoed oral performance and aspired to print publishing. The Codex's fresh articulation of concepts of Kirghiz self-identification was incipiently national, yet remained couched in traditional forms. The Codex thus bridges the interval, often glossed over in cultural histories, between a supposedly archaic state of oral epic tradition and the \"afterlife\" of epics in modern ethno-nationalist projects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47891050823831,"sku":"9789004230408","price":21636.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004230408.webp?v=1781182190","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-sabdan-baat-305-r-codex-epic-and-the-writing-of-northern-kirghiz-history-9789004230408","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
