The act or process of converting something into allegory or interpreting something allegorically; making something allegorical.
From 'allegorise' plus the suffix '-ation' (from Latin '-atio'), which creates nouns describing an action, process, or result. British spelling of 'allegorization.'
The process of allegorisation was especially important in medieval and Renaissance interpretation—scholars would take ancient texts and find hidden spiritual or moral meanings in them, making them relevant to Christian teaching.
