New Publications: Part 3

This is the third post in a series of an eventual five that highlight a batch of publications from this year. You can read the first two here and here.

This particular publication is an essay entitled “The Syntax of Year Expressions in Hellenistic Greek Papyri and Ancient Jewish Translation.” It is published in a very large collection that presents the proceedings of the thirtieth International Congress of Papyrology, which was held in Paris in 2022, where I initially presented my research. (Remarkably, the volume is available to download for free here.)

New Publications: Part 2

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.

Book Announcement: Linguistic Theory and the Biblical Text (Open Access)

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…)
