The Symposium aims to encourage multi- and interdisciplinary debates on the

Sections:

1. Philological  Challenges
• Publication of the biblical texts. Textual criticism and palaeography.
Sacred texts computerization and digitization. 
• The biblical text as a reference point in the diachronic study of language.
Lexicology and biblical semantics. Biblical phraseology. Biblical onomastics.
• Lesser known, partial translations of the Bible: books and book fragments
kept in old manuscripts from the 16th and 17th centuries, and their textual
relationship with popular Romanian versions.
• Stylistic interference and demarcation: biblical, liturgical and theological
sapiential varieties of clerical styles. The role of the Bucharest Bible
(1688) in the creation of the Romanian clerical style in the 18th and 19th
centuries.

2. Translation Challenges
• Typology of biblical translations. Literal and free translation. Translation
theory and sacred texts.
• Unique source vs. multiple source. The “original texts” of the Bible –
different textual traditions reflected in the Romanian translations.
• Relationships among successive biblical versions.
• Reference works for all time Bible translations: lexicons, dictionaries,
concordances, critical editions, auxiliary versions, etc.

3. Biblical Hermeneutics
• Confessional and theological choices and conditioning (dogmatic, canonical,
clerical, worship-related etc.). Theological censorship, political censorship.
• Patristic tradition — reference points and criteria for sacred texts’
interpretation. 
• The Bible and the literary clerical system: relationships and determinations
between the sacred text and clerical hymnography, worship-related literature,
iconography, exegetic and homiletic literature.

4. Sacred Texts’ Historical Reception
• Integration, dynamics and stylization of biblical quotations in Romanian and
other literatures.
• Dissemination of Romanian Bible versions. Historical references and main
Romanian biblical versions criticism (the Bucharest Bible, the Blaj Bible
etc.). Textual relationships (borrowing, “corrections”, adaptations etc.)
between different biblical versions.
• Romanian culture and the Bible. Biblical motifs, symbols, structures and
characters.
• Cultural interferences and mentalities impacting the reception of sacred
texts: anthropological, sociological, political or philosophical aspects.

We also welcome other interpretations of the Conference theme.

Selected papers will be published in a collective volume by the “Alexandru
Ioan Cuza” University Press, Iaşi.
