University of Agder

The University of Agder, in Norway, launches a great research project entitled “‘Biblical’ Texts Older than the Bible.” Three foreign scholars have been invited to take part in the inaugural session: Esther Eshel, Eibert Tigchelaar, and your servant.

I will thus be in Kristiansand on August 13–24 to work on unpublished Dead Sea scrolls, among other things. I will also give a lecture on Enochic literature in Second Temple Judaea, on August 22 at 3:45 PM.

More information on the project’s website.

Saga semitica

Jewish magazine Pharm’Aviv asked me to write a paper, entitled “Saga semitica”:

This is not a remix of the famous song by Yannick Noah, “Saga Africa,” whose twentieth birthday is celebrated this year. This is about another saga, much older (plurimillenary!), that puts on stage another Noah—from the Bible. This is the saga of a people and, in a way, of mankind.
