I wonder if I could restart this thread by asking why we in the Western tradition feel so comfortable using medieval forms but hesitate with non-Western forms that are contemporary? Is it because any medieval person who might be offended by this appropriation is long dead? Or is it because the Western Middle Ages "belong" to Western writers as the non-Western world does not? And if so, how so?

Cheers,
John
