International Conference and Nangeroni Meeting

Supported by the European Research Council
Basic Information
Title: Voice of Jacob: Early Jewish Texts and Traditions in Christian Transmission
Chair: Alexander Kulik
Conference Committee: Alexander Kulik, Gabriele Boccaccini, Lorenzo DiTommaso, David Hamidovic, and Michael E. Stone
Secretary: Jason M. Zurawski
When and Where: 8-12 June 2014; Nahsholim Seaside Resort, situated on the Mediterranean Dor Beach, near ancient Dor
Description of Topic: The meeting and the resultant volume will deal with problems of preservation, reception, and development of Jewish texts and traditions from the Second Temple period in diverse ecclesiastical traditions.
The papers will present:
- (1) general up-to-date surveys of separate traditions (addressing, inter alia, recent developments in the state of research and perspectives for future research)
- (2) discussion of the destinies of specific texts and corpora among diverse traditions
- (3) methodological issues (distinction between originally Jewish and Christian material, modes of medieval transmission and compilation, early Jewish texts and motifs in liturgy and iconography, etc.)
- (4) innovations relevant for the topic.
We plan to have panels on the following topics:
- Overview of linguistic traditions
- Pseudepigrapha
- Philo
- Josephus
- Minor Jewish Hellenistic authors
- OT motifs in Christian pseudepigrapha
- Qumran and Christian traditions
- Comparative perspective: Preservation of Second Temple texts and traditions in Rabbinic, Islamic, and Manichaean transmission, and in late Judeo-Christian contacts.
The central purpose of discussing these diverse topics is to move towards mapping trajectories of early Jewish traditions among diverse cultures and to prepare a volume of introduction to the field.
Costs: The conference organizers will cover the costs of accommodation and full board of all the participants who contribute chapters. Those who prefer to participate in the conference without taking on any assignments are expected to cover their costs, with accommodation and full board to be paid directly to the hotel. In either case, all participants will have to cover the expenses of an accompanying spouse or family (but please note that additional payment for double occupancy, including full board, is only 100 NIS). All participants are also expected to cover their own travel expenses to the site of the conference.
