Speaking to Job in Greek
This study investigates the Old Greek translation of Job regarding its text, Vorlage, translation technique, literary contexts, and theological profile. To situate OG Job within its ancient contexts, both the strategies employed by the translators and the literary profile of the translated text have to be taken into account. Thus, an approach is employed encompassing a thick description of translational strategies; and a reading of the translated text in its own right. This framework is applied in an investigation of God’s answer to Job in OG Job 38:1-42:6. The results show that the translators worked from a Vorlage similar to, but not fully identical with MT, and produced a coherent, styl...
Between Wisdom and Torah
Previous scholars have largely approached Wisdom and Torah in the Second Temple Period through a type of reception history, whereby the two concepts have been understood as signifiers of independent, earlier “biblical” streams of tradition that later came together in the Hellenistic and Roman eras, largely under the process of a so-called “torahization” of wisdom. Recent studies critiquing the nature of wisdom and wisdom literature as operative categories for understanding scribal cultures in early Judaism, as well as newer approaches to conceptualizing Torah and authorizing-compositional practices related to the Pentateuchal texts, however, have challenged the foundations on which t...
Textual Evolution and Growth of the Enochic Theophany in the Book of the Watchers 1:1-9
The Enochic Theophany in the Book of the Watchers 1:1-9 evolved and grew as it was translated into, and transmitted in, new and changing socio-linguistic and socio-religious contexts. This study explores how the Enochic theophany evolved in its Aramaic, Greek, Ethiopic and Latin versions, and focuses on the hermeneutical and text-critical implications of these features of textual evolution and growth. These features reveal how the text was read, interpreted, and re-signified as it was translated and transmitted. This study proposes a holistic methodology for exploring textual evolution and growth in fragmentary texts and in fragmentary textual traditions, and for understanding the Enochic theophany as a participant in an ongoing Theophanic and Enochic-Noahic discourse.

Meeting Maximilian
Der Herrscherbesuch war ein ehrenvolles Ereignis, das als Anlass und Thema schon in den frühesten profanen Wandmalereien des Mittelalters fassbar ist. Svenja Trübenbachs Studie untersucht dieses Phänomen erstmals für den berühmten Maximilian I. Im Zentrum stehen Bildprogramme der Anwesen, in denen der König bzw. Kaiser (mutmaßlich) empfangen wurde oder werden sollte. Mit welchen Bildern reagierten die Hausherren auf den Besuch, wie setzten sie sie ein, um sich und ihr Haus zu empfehlen? Welche Vorstellungen von königlich-kaiserlicher Macht und Herrschaft spiegeln sich darin wider und wo verorteten sich die Auftraggeber diesbezüglich selbst? Nicht zuletzt stellt sich die Frage, welch...
