As I mentioned in a previous post, there are a handful of new publications that I’m highlighting here one at a time.
The second is a chapter I wrote in the brand new T&T Clark Handbook of Hellenistic Jewish Literature in Greek, edited by my friend Marieke Dhont. This volume will be quite large and has a sweeping scope. It’s set to become available in just a few weeks from now.

It is my pleasure to announce a new book that is available as of today: Linguistic Theory and the Biblical Text, which has been published in the Cambridge Semitic Language and Cultures series with OpenBook Publishers in collaboration with the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge. It’s exciting to see this project come to fruition (more on that below), perhaps especially because we were able to arrange for open access to the volume. Yes, that means it’s free to download — that’s right, go ahead. (Or if you’d like, you can also order a hardcopy too.) (more…)
It’s been a quiet summer around here, as most summers are. Perhaps I will do a “What I’ve Been Up To” sort of post in the next few weeks; time will tell. (Hint: writing.) But as you might imagine, I have not been posting here much given the sad events in the Septuagint world this past spring. But the time has come for some good news.
Jesus College
I am very pleased to draw attention to the upcoming Septuagint with the History of Greek Conference, which will take place this coming September 13th-15th at Jesus College at the University of Cambridge. As is fitting, this event is to be held in memory of Jim Aitken, who was very much a part of its planning and vision. (more…)
Septuaginta &c.
