The course of Old Testament Textual Criticism that I teach at the School of Ancient Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at the Catholic University of Paris starts tomorrow!

Olivier Artus, Director of the School of Ancient Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at the Catholic University of Paris, has invited me again to teach Old Testament Textual Criticism.
This course, which I already taught last year, aims at comparing ancient witnesses of the Hebrew Bible — mainly Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, Syriac and Latin. A true journey back to the sources of the biblical text! Join us next Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 13:00 for our first session.
