Call for Papers:

“Investigations into Romanian and European Biblical Traditions” International
Symposium
6th Edition
Iaşi, 27-29 October 2016

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. 

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.
- 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.

The organisers invite all interested participants to send an abstract at
simpozionmld2016 at gmail.com. The registration form is also available on-line,
