Call for papers flyer for a workshop entitled The Bible in Middle Eastern Traditions.

Text of the flyer reads:
This interdisciplinary workshop aims to explore the rich and complex role of biblical manuscripts within
Middle Eastern cultures, past and present. The event seeks to highlight the diverse scribal practices,
transmission histories, and cultural interpretations that have shaped the reception of the Bible across the
region.
Topics may include manuscript production in (Judeo-)Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopic, Greek, Hebrew,
Syriac, and (udeo-)Persian, including multilingual copies of (parts of) the Bible and polyglots; the
movement of texts across linguistic and religious communities; the use of biblical material in liturgy,
theology, and polemic; and the significance of material culture - such as script, text arrangement and
chapter divisions, illumination, codicology, and binding - in expressing local and regional identities. The
workshop also invites reflections on the afterlives of biblical manuscripts in modern collections, digital
preservation, and cultural heritage debates.
Titles and abstracts (750-1000 words) should be
submitted by January 1, 2026 to Uta Nitschke-Joseph
at nitschke@ias.edu.
Scholars are expected to fund their travel to / from and
accommodation in Rome. Lunches will be provided.
Speakers will be invited to contribute to a proceedings
volume. All contributions will undergo a double-blind
peer-review process.
For Middle Eastern Manuscript Traditions (MEMaT), a
multidisciplinary project which aims at studying
