In the last decade, biblical exegesis has gradually taken into consideration the so-called “spatial turn.” However, the literary concept of space and its narrative analysis have found less interest than the study of space as a social and cultural phenomenon. This obvious gap in biblical research has become the impulse for the present work, dedicated to the book of Judith. Its aim is, on the one hand, to present the narrative analysis of space as a still-developing field in non-biblical literature and, on the other, to show how this promising approach can be developed in biblical studies.

In particular, this monograph provides the narrative analysis and interpretation of space in the book of Judith in response. The first part of the study offers a synthetic overview of perceptions, concepts and theories of space from antiquity to contemporary research, and of the theoretical approaches to space in the Old Testament. The main part is dedicated to the analysis of space on the micro and macro levels of the Judith story through the application of Katrin Dennerlein’s narratological theory of space. Thus, it can be demonstrated to what extent an in-depth analysis of the notion of space can contribute to better understand its thematic and symbolic dimension in the narrative, its function of characterising persons and actions, its role as a structuring element in the story and, last but not least, as a vehicle for an ideological and theological message.

The phenomenon of the Septuagint is a matter of interest for several areas of research – not only for Old Testament scholars, but also for researchers of Hellenistic Judaism, patristic exegesis, translation theory and practice, and others. What they all have in common is the text of the Septuagint. Unfortunately, the research is often so compartmentalized that scholars do not know about each other’s work and cannot profit from it. The aim of the conference “The Septuagint: Multilateral Focus on the Text” was to bring together scholars studying the text of the Septuagint in its various aspects: its reconstruction, peculiarities of language, and lexical semantics in their relationship with the Semitic background and within the Greek-speaking world, whether Jewish or Christian. These different approaches to the same matter are bound to lead to mutual enrichment.

Helena Panczová, PhD in Classical Philology (Comenius University, Bratislava), is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Theology, Trnava University. She specializes in Biblical Greek, Greek lexicography (author of Greek-Slovak Dictionary from Homer to Christian Authors, 2012), and patristic exegesis. She is the editor of a Slovak patristic series, Starokresťanská knižnica, where she also contributed with her translations of Gregory of Nyssaʼs Life of Moses (2012) and Commentary on the Song of Songs (2015, 2019, 2020).

Translation Technique, Textual History, and Theological Issues,

par Beatrice Bonanno

Cet ouvrage constitue le volume 5 de la nouvelle collection dirigée par Eberhard Bons, The Septuagint in its Ancient Context

Summary. For many years, the Septuagint of Ruth (LXX-Ruth) has been considered a literal translation. Several authors have emphasized the similarities between the Greek text and the Masoretic Text, while others have also noted the divergences. In the wake of this second stream, this book seeks to answer the crucial question: How can we nuance the definition of “literalism” for LXX-Ruth, and which innovations and specifics can be detected in this text? A fresh analysis of the Greek rendering of the Hebrew proper names, toponyms, hapax legomena as well as legal aspects makes it possible to develop new perspectives on the translation technique of LXX-Ruth and to highlight several characteristics of this text. This volume, moreover, extends the discussion by including the analysis of the theological accents of LXX-Ruth and an up-to-date presentation of its textual history including the fragments of the book in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Overall, this volume enhances our understanding of the linguistic and literary background of the LXX, as well as its specific features.

Beatrice Bonanno (Palermo, Italy, 1994) studied classical philology at the University of Bologna (Italy) and biblical studies at the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain, Belgium). She obtained her PhD in theology (2022) at the same university, where she is currently a post-doctoral researcher of the Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique (F.R.S.-FNRS), also teaching Biblical Greek. She deepened her knowledge of biblical texts during research stays at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel), the University of Vienna (Austria), the Arizona State University (Phoenix, AZ), as well as the Phoenix Seminar (Phoenix, AZ).

“L’aboutissement d’un demi-siècle de recherches sur le Siracide, comme le dit T. Muraoka dans un bref avant-propos – ce qu’atteste l’abondante bibliographie qui clôt l’ouvrage, dédié au Professeur Masao Sekine (1912-2000).  Les 51 chapitres du Siracide sont traduits en anglais et les difficultés philologiques, lexicales et syntaxiques analysées verset par verset. Une place éminente est faite à la comparaison du grec de la Septante avec les parties du livre conservées en hébreu, mais aussi la version syriaque et les versions latines. Les versets de ce qu’il est convenu d’appeler « Grec II », édités par Ziegler en taille réduite dans le texte et mis dans l’apparat critique dans l’édition de Rahlfs, sont signalés et encadrés par le signe ¶. À l’évidence un livre de référence, et toute notre gratitude va au Professeur Muraoka. »
