From September 8 to 11, 2002 Bangor Theological Seminary
hosted an international conference on the Bangor campus. Ten German and twelve
US/Canadian scholars met to discuss latest research on the ancient
Greek edition of the Jewish Bible (Septuagint) that formed the text base for
the Christian Old Testament.
Monday 7:30 – 9:00 PM, 9/9/2002, BTS Commons, lecture and time for
questions.
This presentation will look at selected phenomena in Greek copies of Jewish
and early Christian scriptures and related materials up to the fifth century
and the scribal cultures that produced them, including the move from scrolls
to codices, the development of conventions for representing "nomina
sacra" and other abbreviations, formatting issues within the text blocks,
etc. Color pictures will be a part of the presentation. Attention will be paid
to continuities and discontinuities in the transmission of scriptural texts
between Judaism and Christianity.
