I would also like to thank the members of the audience who engagedin lively and interesting discussion. In particular, I am grateful to Stanley Tambiah, who contributed the perspectives of a social anthropologist in a most illuminating way and helped us to avoid the pitfalls of Byzantine parochialism.
Finally, thanks are due to Hedy Schiller, who helped both to organize the meeting and to prepare the manuscript for publication, and to the staffof the Dumbarton Oaks Publications Office, who saw the book through the press.
