My brother David reminded me of a word that Dad liked to use, which was definitely relevant to his interests.

tralatitious: adj 1: having been passed along from generation to generation; "among Biblical critics a tralatitious interpretation is one received by expositor from expositor" [syn: {handed-down}, {tralatitious}]

Sci-Fi example sentence:

In the years before its fall, scholarship on Trantor was overwhelmingly tralatitious.
