Bible in the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Traditions"
Society of Biblical Literature
The committee for the program unit "Bible in the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Traditions" of the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) is happy to announce the Call for Papers for the 2010 International Conference in Tartu, Estonia .
The program unit's theme for this conference is "The Antiochian School of Biblical Exegesis." Scholars are invited to submit proposals for papers to explore the various aspects of biblical exegesis and hermeneutics developed and promoted in the churches of the Antiochian Patrimony. The steering committee of the unit especially encourages the submission of proposals for papers that explore and discuss the insights into contemporary biblical exegesis and scholarship that the distinct tradition of biblical interpretation of the school of Antioch may provide. Papers that explore the influence of the Antiochian school on later and other traditions of biblical exegesis will also be considered.
All are welcome to propsoe abstracts for papers to participate in this unit's session. SBL members can submit their proposals online by accessing the SBL website (see link below) and uploading their proposal.

Liebe Paläographen und Kodikologen, dear scholars of palaeography and

*CfP: Kodikologie und Paläographie im Digitalen Zeitalter II*
Das Institut für Dokumentologie und Editorik (IDE) hat im letzten Jahr
die Initiative “Kodikologie und Paläographie im digitalen Zeitalter”
gestartet, um den Stand der Forschungen zum Einsatz von modernen
Informationstechnologien auf die Arbeit mit Handschriften zu
dokumentieren. In diesem Jahr konnten bereits die ersten Früchte dieser
Arbeit vorgelegt werden: Im Juli 2009 ist ein Sammelband “Kodikologie
und Paläographie im digitalen Zeitalter” erschienen
(http://www.i-d-e.de/schriften-2/kodikologie-und-palaographie-im-digitalen-zeitalter).
Zu seiner Präsentation fand in München eine internationale Fachtagung
statt, die erstmals die an diesen Fragen interessierte weltweite
Forschergemeinschaft zusammengebracht hat
(http://www.i-d-e.de/events-des-ide/internationale-tagung-kodikologie-und-palaographie-im-digitalen-zeitalter-codicology-and-paleography-in-the-digital-age-munchen/tagungsbericht-kodikologie-und-palaographie-im-digitalen-zeitalter).
Die Resonanz auf Sammelband und Tagung war bislang äußerst positiv, auch
von Experten aus den verschiedensten Bereichen der
Handschriftenforschung mit geringerer Vertrautheit mit digitalen
Arbeitsweisen. Zum ersten Mal lassen sich die ebenso zukunftsweisenden
wie disparat voran getriebenen Ansätze und Ergebnisse der
computergestützten kodikologischen und paläographischen Forschung als
Gesamtphänomen ins Auge fassen und von der Forschungsgemeinschaft
diskutieren.
Gleichwohl liegt es in der Natur der Sache, dass der vorliegende Band
zwar einen breitgefächerten Einblick in den state of the art gibt, viele
relevante Themengebiete und Fragestellungen jedoch nicht behandelt
werden konnten. Das Institut für Dokumentologie und Editorik hat sich
daher entschlossen, einen weiteren Band zu Kodikologie und Paläographie
im digitalen Zeitalter herauszugeben. Es verfolgt die Absicht, die durch
den ersten Band aufgeworfenen Fragen zu vertiefen und das Gesamtbild zu
vervollständigen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Insbesondere soll nun zu folgenden Fragen Stellung genommen werden:
- Inwieweit lassen sich quantitative Ansätze und die Auswertung von
Datenbanken in der kodikologischen Forschung durch eine systematische
Auswertung digitaler Faksimilia von Handschriften ergänzen?
- Können kunsthistorische und musikwissenschaftliche Fragestellungen und
Herangehensweisen an Handschriften in dem Maße formalisiert werden, dass
sie durch digitale Hilfsmittel und Methodiken unterstützt werden
können?
- Lassen sich Methoden aus den Naturwissenschaften (wie z.B. der
DNA-Analyse historischer Materialien) für die Analyse von Handschriften
nutzbar machen?
- Wie können elektronische Handschriftenkataloge und virtuelle
Bibliotheken in übergreifenden Portalen und hybriden Arbeitsumgebungen
zusammengeführt und somit breit angelegten semantischen Untersuchungen
zur Verfügung gestellt werden?
- Wie können die verfügbaren digitalen Hilfsmittel für paläographische
Transkriptionen zugänglich gemacht und verbessert, wie ihr
Anwendungsbereich erweitert und wie die philologische Aus- und
Weiterverwertbarkeit ihrer Ergebnisse vorangetrieben werden?
- Wie lassen sich Fragen an die Entwicklungsgeschichte von Schrift und
Schrifttypen mit Hilfe digitaler Methoden adressieren?
- Wie werden digitale Ressourcen an ihre materiellen Ausgangsobjekte im
Rahmen von Restauration und Konservation zurückgebunden? Welche Formen
der Rückbindung können für Archiven, Museen und Bibliotheken im Bereich
der Pädagogik und der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit sinnvoll sein?
- Inwieweit sind die mit Hilfe von Software generierten Antworten auf
Fragen der paläographischen und kodikologischen Forschung verlässlich
und nachprüfbar?
Beiträge, die zu dem hier anskizzierten Fragenhorizont Stellung beziehen
oder darüber hinausweisen (vgl. CfP zum ersten Band), sind herzlich
willkommen. Vorschläge werden bis zum 30. November 2009 erbeten und
können an kpdz-ii@ide.de eingereicht werden. Wie schon sein Vorgänger
soll auch dieser Band auf einer Internationalen Fachtagung im Sommer
2010 präsentiert und diskutiert werden.
Die Abstracts sollten einen Umfang von 500 Wörtern nicht überschreiten;
um dem internationalen Charakter der Forschungsgemeinschaft Rechnung zu
tragen, werden Beiträge auf Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch und
Italienisch akzeptiert.

*CfP: Codicology and Palaeography in the Digital Age II*
It is only a year since the Institute of Documentology and Scholarly
Editing (IDE) undertook an initiative entitled "Codicology and
Palaeography in the Digital Age". Yet its first results have already
been written up and published: in July 2009, the anthology "Codicology
and Palaeography in the Digital Age" was launched at an international
symposium in Munich. Here, experts from all over the world met as a
community to share their knowledge, interests and concerns regarding
digital issues in the various fields of manuscript research.
The feedback on both the anthology and the conference has been
remarkably positive, not least from experts who are less acquainted with
digital methods. For the first time, widely dispersed, cutting-edge
research in the field of computer-aided codicology and palaeography can
be surveyed and assessed as a whole phenomenon.
Yet, despite the fact that the anthology gives a broad insight into
theory and practice, some relevant subjects and questions have not been
covered. For this reason the IDE plans to publish a second volume of
"Codicology and Palaeography in the Digital Age". The following
questions in particular should now be addressed:
* To what extent can quantitative approaches and the analysis of
codicological databases be complemented by a systematic analysis of
digital manuscript facsimiles?
* How can manuscript-related research in the history of arts or in
musicology be supported by digital tools and methodology?
* How successfully can methods from the sciences be applied to the
analysis of manuscripts (e.g. DNA analysis of parchment)?
* How can electronic manuscript-catalogues and virtual libraries be
brought together by means of comprehensive portals and hybrid research
environments in order, for example, to facilitate exhaustive semantic
studies?
* How can existing digital tools for palaeographic transcription be
promoted and improved? How can the range of applications be expanded?
How can philological analysis and further use in literary studies be
enhanced?
* How can questions about the history of script be addressed by
digital methods?
* How can digital resources best supplement the originals, in the
context of restoration and preservation? How can archives, libraries and
museums take advantage of the opportunities, for public benefit?
* To what extent are software-generated answers to codicological
and palaeographic questions sustainable, verifiable and reliable?
Contributions which explore these and similar subjects (cf. previous
CfP) are most welcome and can be submitted in English, French, German or
Italian. Again, the launch of the volume will be accompanied by an
international symposium. Proposals of not more than 500 words should be
sent by 30 November 2009 to kpdz-ii@ide.de or any of the editors listed
below.

medieval Greek and paleography
June 7 – July 2, 2010
Dumbarton Oaks will again offer an intensive four-week course in
medieval Greek and paleography in the early summer of 2010. A limited
number of places will be available for students from North America
and Europe .
Course Offerings
The principal course will be a daily 1 ½ hour session devoted to the
translation of sample Byzantine texts. Each week texts will be
selected from a different genre, e.g., historiography, hagiography,
poetry, and epistolography. Two afternoons a week hour-long sessions
on paleography will be held. In addition each student will receive a
minimum of one hour per week of individual tutorial. Students will
also have the opportunity to view facsimiles of manuscripts in the
Dumbarton Oaks Rare Books Collection, as well as original manuscripts
in the Byzantine
Collection. Thus approximately eleven hours per week will be devoted
to formal classroom instruction. It is anticipated that students will
require the remaining hours of the week to prepare their assignments.
If they should have extra time, they may conduct personal research in
the Dumbarton Oaks library.
Faculty
Stratis Papaioannou, Brown University/Dumbarto n Oaks; Alice-Mary
Talbot, Dumbarton Oaks
Accommodation and Costs
No tuition fees will be charged. Successful candidates from outside
the Washington area will be provided with housing in the guesthouse
at no cost and lunch on weekdays. Local area students will not be
offered accommodation, but will receive free lunch on weekdays.
Students are expected to cover their own transportation expenses.
Requirements for Admission
Applicants must be graduate students in a field of Byzantine studies
(or advanced undergraduates with a strong background in Greek) at a
North American or European university. Two years of college level
ancient Greek (or the equivalent) are a prerequisite; a diagnostic
test will be administered to finalist applicants before the final
selection of successful candidates is made.
Application Procedure
Applicants should send a letter by February 15, 2010, to Dr. Margaret
Mullett, Director of Byzantine Studies, describing their academic
background, career goals, previous study of Greek, and reasons for
wishing to attend the summer school. The application should also
include a curriculum vitae and a transcript of the graduate school or
undergraduate record. Two letters of recommendation should be sent
separately, one from the student's advisor, and one from an
instructor in Greek, assessing the candidate's present level of
competence in ancient or medieval Greek. Principles of selection will
include three considerations: previous meritorious achievement, need
for intensive study of Byzantine Greek, and future direction of
research. Awards will be announced in March 2010, and must be
accepted by April 1.

translation of sample Byzantine texts. Each week texts will be
selected from a different genre, e.g., historiography, hagiography,
poetry, and epistolography. Two afternoons a week hour-long sessions
on paleography will be held. In addition each student will receive a
minimum of one hour per week of individual tutorial. Students will
also have the opportunity to view facsimiles of manuscripts in the
Dumbarton Oaks Rare Books Collection, as well as original manuscripts
in the Byzantine
Collection. Thus approximately eleven hours per week will be devoted
to formal classroom instruction. It is anticipated that students will
require the remaining hours of the week to prepare their assignments.
If they should have extra time, they may conduct personal research in
the Dumbarton Oaks library.
Faculty
Stratis Papaioannou, Brown University/Dumbarto n Oaks; Alice-Mary
Talbot, Dumbarton Oaks
Accommodation and Costs
No tuition fees will be charged. Successful candidates from outside
the Washington area will be provided with housing in the guesthouse
at no cost and lunch on weekdays. Local area students will not be
offered accommodation, but will receive free lunch on weekdays.
Students are expected to cover their own transportation expenses.
Requirements for Admission
Applicants must be graduate students in a field of Byzantine studies
(or advanced undergraduates with a strong background in Greek) at a
North American or European university. Two years of college level
ancient Greek (or the equivalent) are a prerequisite; a diagnostic
test will be administered to finalist applicants before the final
selection of successful candidates is made.
Application Procedure
Applicants should send a letter by February 15, 2010, to Dr. Margaret
Mullett, Director of Byzantine Studies, describing their academic
background, career goals, previous study of Greek, and reasons for
wishing to attend the summer school. The application should also
include a curriculum vitae and a transcript of the graduate school or
undergraduate record. Two letters of recommendation should be sent
separately, one from the student's advisor, and one from an
instructor in Greek, assessing the candidate's present level of
competence in ancient or medieval Greek. Principles of selection will
include three considerations: previous meritorious achievement, need
for intensive study of Byzantine Greek, and future direction of
research. Awards will be announced in March 2010, and must be
accepted by April 1.

Gender and Class in Byzantine Society
Gender and Class in Byzantine Society: XVIth Biennial Conference of the
Australian Association for Byzantine Studies
16-18 April 2010, University of New England
Call for Papers and Registration Open
http://home.vicnet.net.au/~byzaus/conferences/16th2010/
The Australian Association for Byzantine Studies calls for papers for its
XVIth Biennial Conference. The conference is being held in honour of
Professor John Melville-Jones and the theme will be 'Gender and Class in
Byzantine Society'.
Plenary speakers:
Dr Tom Brown, Reader, School of History, Classics and Archaeology, The
University of Edinburgh
Professor John Melville-Jones, Classics and Ancient History, University of
Western Australia
Dr Shaun Tougher, Senior Lecturer in Ancient History, Cardiff University (to
be confirmed)
Gender and class were key social indicators in Byzantine society, as in many
others. However, masculine and feminine roles were not always clearly
defined, while eunuchs made up a 'third gender'. Social status was also in a
state of flux, as much linked to patronage networks as to wealth, as the
Empire came under a series of external and internal pressures. This fluidity
applied in ecclesiastical as much as in secular spheres. We welcome papers
on all aspects of the theme of gender and/or class from the 4th to the 15th
centuries, from the Greek East to the westernmost reaches of the Byzantine
Empire.
Contributors are invited to interpret the theme broadly and we welcome
submissions from all fields. Both scholars with academic affiliation and
working independently, as well as postgraduate students, are encouraged to
apply.
Registration is now open.
The Conference will be held 16-18 April 2010 at the University of New
England in Armidale, New South Wales, Australia.
Further details including registration, conference location and
accommodation options are available on the conference web site.
Please submit abstracts of up to 500 words in length to:
