Literature
Further cited scholarship
3 scholarly and reference publications are cited here, each one identified by title and by the publication, publisher or institution that carried it, with its year where the register states one. The cited literature runs from 2014 to 2026, which is a measure of how long Joreige has been a subject of scholarship rather than of how much has been written. The Encyclopedia cites this literature and does not summarise the arguments of works it has not read in full.
