Slavonic Apocrypha (EABS)


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: This year’s theme is the study of Slavonic Apocrypha in the European context. We welcome interdisciplinary approaches and will include a variety of papers on subjects ranging from the manuscripts’ condition and availability to specific European interpretations of Slavonic Apocrypha and their reception history. Because of the joint meeting in Berlin with ISBL, and the presence of other units on Slavonic biblical and parabiblical interpretations, we will dedicate a session to a specific theme: the Legacy of Cyril and Methodius, the translators of the biblical texts into Slavonic and the creators of the Slavonic script. We welcome proposals from Slavicists, biblical scholars, and scholars of cognitive fields, and look forward to the debates over the significance of Cyril and Methodius’ mission among the Slavs at the first decades of 21st centuries. In recognition of our joint meeting with ISBL, we invite papers for a session on the topic “Slavonic Translations of the Second Temple Texts,” to be held jointly with the ISBL program units: “Rethinking Biblical Written Tradition through Slavonic Interpretations,” “Apocalyptic Literature,” and “Hellenistic Judaism.”
