Translating a Translation : The LXX and Its Modern Translations in the Context of Early Judaism
Overview
As part of a Joint Project of Bilateral Scientific Cooperation
between the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) and University of
Stellenbosch (South Africa), the Centre for Septuagint Studies and
Textual Criticism (Faculty of Theology, K.U.Leuven) organised a
Specialists' Symposium on the Septuagint Translation.
This scholarly meeting took place from 4 to 6 December 2006 at the Leuven
Faculty of Theology, Research Unit Biblical Studies.
The symposium's aim was to survey contemporary research within the realm of
the translations of the Septuagint. Therefore, the most important Septuagint
translation projects were confronted with each other, from the perspective of
their objective and methodology as well as with regard to their concrete
application in particular cases or examples. The meeting was exclusively
intended for specialists in the field.
The present book contains the proceedings of this symposium. It offers the full
text of the contributions by J. Cook, R. Sollamo, H. Ausloos & B. Lemmelijn,
G. Dorival, K. Hauspie, C. Dogniez, M. Karrer, W. Kraus, E. Bons, H.-J. Fabry,
A. Pietersma, D. Büchner, C. Boyd-Taylor, H. Van Rooy, J. Naudé, A. Piquer, P.
Torijano & Julio Trebolle Barrera and N. Fernández Marcos. In this way, it
reflects the views of leading voices in contemporary research on the
Septuagint's translation, and thus confronts different methodological
perspectives on a most intriguing research topic.
