The Bible in Slavic Tradition [Studia Judaeoslavica, Volume 9]

Leiden: Brill, 2016. First edition. Hardcover. Quarto (9 1/2 x 6 1/2"). IX, [3], 576pp. Original decorative paper covered boards.

"This volume contains selected papers from an international conference held in 2009 in Varna, Bulgaria. The papers represent major trends and developments in current research on the medieval Slavonic biblical tradition, primarily in comparison with Greek and Hebrew texts.

The volume covers the translation of the canonical, apocryphal and pseudepigraphical books of the Old and New Testaments and its development over the ninth to sixteenth centuries.

Another focus is on issues relating to Cyril and Methodius, the creators of the first Slavonic alphabet in the ninth century and the first translators of biblical books into Slavonic.

The analytical approach in the volume is interdisciplinary, applying methodologies from textual criticism, philology, cultural and political history, and theology.

It should be of value to Slavists, Hebraists and Byzantinists." (From the Publishers).
