International Colloquium 9-11 July, 2007
Cambridge University's Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) hosted an international colloquium entitled "The Greek Bible in Byzantine Judaism," at Wolfson College, Cambridge from 9 to 11 July 2007.
The aim of the colloquium was to examine all the issues associated with Jewish use of Greek Bible translations in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, including particularly: primary sources; the role of these translations within Jewish culture, both written and oral; the nature of the translations and their relationship with the Septuagint and other ancient translations; linguistic questions; modes of transmission; and implications for Jewish-Christian relations.

The proceedings of the colloquium will be published by Mohr-Siebeck.
