Requirements for Participation

Syriac Literature and Interpretations of Sacred Texts


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For the 2017 meeting in Boston we invite papers that present, analyze, and discuss research on Syriac literature and the Syriac Bible, its versions, transmissions, exegesis, and relevance for understanding religion, culture, history, and society in Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the modern world. We are very interested in papers that address the intersections between the Bible, the Qur'an, and other sacred sacriptures, and their interpretive traditions through the lens of Syriac authors. We invite papers that speak to questions of migration and integration of texts, traditions, and people. Papers that promote work on editions and translations of Syriac and related texts are very welcome as well.
