Journey to the West seems like a good candidate

More of a turn towards crowd-sourced peer review has been one proposal, from what I understand (www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...) [cc @lastpositivist.bsky.social ]

(Another part of the book is quoted in J. H. Prynne’s poem “Aristeas, in Seven Years”, “the skulls are sent on hunting journeys [etc]”)
