PANEL: SEPTUAGINT STUDIES - TOWARDS VOLUME II OF THE HISTORICAL AND THEOLOGICAL LEXICON OF THE SEPTUAGINT (HTLS): OUTCOMES AND PERSPECTIVES
02/07/2026 09:00 - 12:20
HALL: Parenzo - A1

Contact: Mambelli A.

Chair: Bigoni L.

The international project on the vocabulary of the Septuagint that is behind "The Historical and Theological Lexicon of the Septuagint" (ed. by Eberhard Bons and Daniela Scialabba, in collaboration with Anna Mambelli; 4 vols., Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2020-) is close to the publication of the second volume of the lexicon, with lemmas from "delta" to "iota". This panel aims to bring together scholars that have been working on these lemmas to discuss research outcomes and selected examples of the impact of lexicographical analysis on Septuagint research, exploring both its context of origin and its early reception.
The issues explored by the panel include:
a) Septuagint lexicography and translation techniques;
b) Septuagint vocabulary in relation to the Greek world;
c) The contribution of the Septuagint to the history of the Greek language;
d) The impact of Septuagint vocabulary on Jewish and early Christian authors.
