Why is it important?
We have made known to the world the significant contributions of a school of history among several others and how such contributions were accomplished. Hitherto little was known about its contribution to historical scholarship
Perspectives
Beyond providing opportunity to make known what is hitherto unknown, I feel particularly happy to have contributed to advancing knowledge by exposing readers, researchers and scholarship to subject that is not being explored and to knowing more in the process
