5/20–5/22 Levitical Priesthood in the Aramaic Levi Document and Related Literature
The conference aims to analyze the literary characteristics, priestly theology, and sapiential and apocalyptic content of the Aramaic Levi Document. This document, based in part on the Book of Genesis, portrays Levi as a warrior who fought against the inhabitants of Shechem. It also depicts him as a priest ordained in both earthly and heavenly ceremonies, a student of liturgical and metrological matters, and a founder of the sapiential and apocalyptic priesthood. The conference will address the recent publication and reconstruction of the Levi Document by Józef Tadeusz Milik in Les livres des patriarches: Édition des textes, traduction et commentaire. I. Testament de Lévi. Introduction par Henryk Drawnel SDB, édité par Henryk Drawnel, SDB. EB N.S. 95. Leuven: Peeters, 2022. For further information about the conference and submission of paper proposals (approximately 300 words), please contact Henryk Drawnel at hdrawnel@kul.pl.
