Gabriele Boccaccini [1] (b.1958) is an Italian-born American scholar, at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor MI), USA.
Biography
Gabriele Boccaccini was born in Florence, Italy on March 24, 1958 to Walter Boccaccini, an opera stage director and then general manager of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, and Maria Adelaide Ghinozzi, a teacher who graduated in Philosophy under Prof. Eugenio Garin at the University of Florence.
He studied Classical Studies at the Liceo "Dante Alighieri" in Florence (1971-76), and enrolled as a student at the University of Florence. After completing his courses, he served two years in the civil corps of the Italian Army, married in 1981 with musicologist Aloma Bardi and earned his Laurea (1983) in Early Christianity from the University of Florence, Italy under the mentorship of Ancient Philosophy professor Francesco Adorno. He then taught three years as a high-school professor of Religion at the Liceo Linguistico in Florence, before entering the PhD program at the University of Turin under the mentorship of Prof. Paolo Sacchi. In the Winter 1989 and 1990, he was Visiting Scholar at Princeton Theological Seminary under the mentorship of Prof. James H. Charlesworth. In 1991 he earned his PhD in Judaic Studies from the University of Turin, Italy.
In Fall 1992 he joined the Faculty of the Department of Near Eastern Studies of the University of Michigan, working as Adjunct Professor in the PhD program directed by Prof. Jarl Fossum. He became Assistant Professor in 1999, Associate Professor in 2002 and then in 2005, Professor of Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins in the Department of Near Studies and at the Frankel Center of Judaic Studies.
In 2001 he founded and has directed ever since the Enoch Seminar. In 2006 he launched the Enoch Graduate Seminar. These series of international Seminars on Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins have attracted hundreds of scholars from all around the world.
In 2009 he created 4 Enoch: The Online Encyclopedia of Second Temple Judaism, which is expanding, year after after, with thousands of visitors per months.
From 2005 to 2011 he was the Editor-in-chief of the journal Henoch. In 2012 he has become the Editor-in-Chief of Enoch Seminar Online, which publishes the papers of the Enoch Seminar and book reviews in the field of Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins.
On March 2012 he has became an American citizen.
In 2012 he has launched with the Enoch Seminar a new series of academic seminars on Jewish, Christian and Islamic Origins, the so-called Nangeroni Meetings, as well as a series of receptions at the annual American Meetings of the SBL.
He has published numerous articles and books (in English or Italian) and edited most of the volumes of the Enoch Seminar. Works of his have been translated into German, Portuguese and Hungarian.
In 2018 he was awarded the title of "Cavaliere dell'Ordine della Stella d'Italia (Knight of the Order of the Star of Italy)" by the President of Italy Sergio Matterella for his contribution to the "preservation and promotion of national prestige abroad."
On occasion of his 60th birthday, his former students and colleagues, J. Harold Ellens, Isaac W. Oliver, Jason von Ehrenkrook, James Waddell and Jason M. Zurawski, presented him a Festschrift: Wisdom Poured Out Like Water Studies on Jewish and Christian Antiquity in Honor of Gabriele Boccaccini. The volume, published by Walter De Gruyter in the series Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature Studies 38, includes more than 40 contributions from international scholars.
