Textual Criticism: Manuscripts & Methods
Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? No
Call For Papers: The SBL-International program unit “Textual Criticism: Manuscripts & Methods” is calling for submissions of papers for the July 2022 meeting scheduled for Salzburg, Austria. Papers will be considered that are devoted to the textual criticism of early Jewish and early Christian writings, including the Jewish Bible, early Jewish literature, and the Old Testament (in Hebrew and Aramaic, Greek, and other ancient languages), as well as early Christian literature and the New Testament (in Greek, Latin, and other ancient languages). Papers can investigate different types of material witnesses related to the text of this literature—tablets, manuscripts, ostraca, inscriptions—or consider the textual forms of this literature reflected in its citation and use by ancient authors and in writings from antiquity through the Middle Ages. This consists not only of contributions that deal with the Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Latin textual witnesses, but also those that engage evidence in Ugaritic, Arabic, Syriac, Ethiopic, Coptic, Armenian, and other linguistic traditions. The Textual Criticism: Manuscripts & Methods and Septuagint Studies program units will host a joint session on “Textual criticism: revisions and recensions”. Papers in the thematic session should touch upon the well-known recensions of the Septuagint (Kaige, Hexaplaric, Lucianic/Antiochian) or other revisional activity concerning the Greek Bible. Papers seeking to combine the study of the Septuagint revisions to other approaches (e.g., textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible, Septuagint syntax and lexicography, theology of the Septuagint) are especially welcome
