Requirements for Participation

Transmission of Traditions in the Second Temple Period


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The section will host three sessions in 2020, one session with invited speakers and two open sessions. The first session with invited papers will focus on how the traditions concerning the three “major” prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, developed and changed during the Second Temple period. The papers will address how the composition, reworking, and reception of the main literary works related to these prophets as well as other works associated with them or engaging with these figures changed the overall traditions. The second session is an open one where we ask for paper proposals that would investigate the interaction and relative importance of oral and textual transmission of traditions. The third session is also an open one, and we hope the proposed papers would deal either with specific empirical evidence of transmission mechanics, like case studies on the use of editorial techniques, or more conceptual matters related to the wider processes of transmitting traditions in the Second Temple period.
