On the concept of humanistic base texts

Summary/Abstract: I elaborated the concept of humanistic base texts when I was translating Indian and Chinese classical texts into Estonian. At present, I would classify as such the following works: "BhagavadgTta", a part of Buddhist texts, "Lunyu" by Confucius and the Gospels according to Luke, Matthew and Mark, to mention only a few. This article gives a general survey of the concept, to be specified in the papers to follow.
