Editing Greek Christian Literature: Seminar

François Bovon and John Duffy

Description

This seminar will explore the several-step preparation of a scholarly text edition. The introductory sessions will focus on heuristic questions: how to track down manuscripts of authors and individual works; how to find library catalogues and descriptions; how to obtain copies of documents. The rest of the course will be devoted to a hands-on exercise in editing and translating one or more short Greek Christian texts, particularly apocryphal texts. Prerequisite: a course in Greek paleography, and a strong background in Greek.
