Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: In 2008, we will dedicate two sessions to the writings of Greek Jewish authors such as Artapanus, Aristeas the Exegete, Demetrius the Chronographer, Eupolemus, Ezekiel the Tragedian, and Philo the Epic Poet. We invite submissions of proposals on these and other writings preserved in excerpts by Alexander Polyhistor, Eusebius, etc. We are planning to hold one panel on Artapanus and another on these authors more generally. Proposed papers may deal with any aspect of their writings, but papers that deal with broader issues are encouraged (e.g., how do such works enrich our understanding of the negotiation of Jewish identities in Hellenistic cultural contexts? What might they tell us about the history of exegesis and the creative redeployment of Hellenistic literary genres? What are the challenges involved in reconstructing their aims and provenance?)
