year = {2023},
note = {This book delves into the intricate relationship between
constitutional preambles and origin/creation stories found in
comparative mythology. It uncovers remarkable structural and thematic
parallels between these narratives, seamlessly blending legal
scholarship with the captivating field of narratology. Through a
meticulous examination of how constitutional preambles provide context
to the constitution and how creation myths infuse profound meaning and
significance into the transformative moments of birthing a new polity,
the book establishes historical and horizontal connections across a
diverse range of texts that contribute to the paratextual genre of
"preambles". Employing theoretical frameworks from philosophy,
theology, and history, this book eloquently showcases the unbroken
continuity of constituent politico-legal discourses, bridging the gap
between ancient times and the modern world.},
