The journal has finally arrived! And probably the largest volume so far. Some very interesting articles...I have a modest contribution in the book reviews section.

Wonderful being back in beautiful Salzburg after 8 years, this time with two students, Stephann and Jean-Marc. Beautiful scenery, check! Guided tours, check! But most of all, learning to work with ancient biblical manuscripts under the guidance of Kristin De Troyer.

I received an intriguing book in the mail this week, thanks to Un Sung Kwak. The Septuagint is now being translated into Korean and I had the privilege of co-authoring a preface with Alison Salvesen. Congrats to the team!

A student once wrote my name as Prof. Mauvais. I like to think it was simply a typo, but who knows 😬
