Rethinking Biblical Written Tradition through Slavonic Interpretations

Call For Papers: We are calling for the presentations of the Slavonic biblical literature as in the description of our unit. Papers on traditional interpretations in ecclesiastical context are always welcome. Amsterdam, as the world-famous center of intellectual and religious tolerance, has traditionally promoted diversity and attracted radical intellectuals. Those papers that focus on underrepresented groups and historically neglected opinions are especially welcome. This year we will dedicate a session to the interpretations on who uses and how biblical citations. Slavic medieval authors often composed their work with favorite biblical quotations in specific topoi and allusions easy to remember by ordinary faithful. We look at the context of their chosen biblical citations in their compositions and try to explain why and how the authors have used them in Slavonic texts, visual art, architecture, and music. Also, we plan a session on the Slavonic manuscripts wherein we raise the ethical issues about the fate of museum collections worldwide and have a look on their digitization and accessibility to the wider audience.
