Lesson 3: Cultural heritage and respect for diversity

Transmission

The history of creation of certain texts and artifacts is a clear example of the hybrid nature of cultural heritagewhich reflects centuries-long cultural interactions and diversity.

For instance, one of such examples is a literary text, The Life of St. Josaphat (Balavariani). It is thought that the tale about St. Josaphat was based on the life of Buddha.

When the tale was translated into Arabic it somehow reached Christian circles and was interpreted into the tale about St. Josaphat.

According to the Georgian translation by Ekvtime Mtatsmindeli (11th century) the Greek version of the story was created.
