Project on Ancient Cultural Engagement (PACE)
The Project on Ancient Cultural Engagement (PACE) at York University aims to recover the Ancient Mediterranean World for our time in new ways. Its focus is the set of problems arising from the encounter and interaction of cultures: representation of one's own group and others', motivations for learning about or depicting the other, stereotypes (e.g., the barbarian) and rhetorical commonplaces, attraction to the exotic or revulsion at the alien, conscious assimilation or repudiation, and all the attendant problems of identity-construction.
A project, evaluating the Greek Bible as a source for Jewish interpretation
of the political, social and intellectual culture of the Hellenistic world.
La Bible Annotée
Malgré son titre sans prétention et son grand âge, la Bible Annotée, ou Bible de Neuchâtel, reste une œuvre inégalée. Elle se compose d'une traduction française originale de l'Ancien Testament, et d'un commentaire accompagnant chaque verset ou presque.

The International Organization for
Septuagint and Cognate Studies
The International Organization for Septuagint and Cognate Studies (IOSCS) is a nonprofit, learned society formed to promote international research in and study of the Septuagint and related texts.
Bulletin of the International Organization for
Septuagint and Cognate Studies
The IOSCS produces an annual bulletin, the Bulletin of the International Organization for Septuagint and Cognate Studies (BIOSCS). Each bulletin contains articles, news, and a record of work published or in progress.
The Greek Bible in the Graeco-Roman World
The project has two related goals.
1. A systematic assessment of existing criteria for the contextualisation of the translation of individual books or groups of books. Emphasis will fall on those books of the Greek Bible, which, by virtue of their content matter, offer substantial sources for historical contextualisation.
2. A major investigation into the language of the translators. The project will focus on a comparative examination of the political, legal and administrative terminology of the books (examples for comparison include court titles, legal terminology and conceptions of the hellenistic monarch).
"Jüdische Schriften aus hellenistisch-römischer Zeit" (JSHRZ) Registerband. Das Register zu den JSHRZ umfaßt ein detailliertes Sach-, Namens-, Orts- und Stellenregister zur frühjüdischen Literatur und Religion des Zweiten Tempels. Das Register ist als Nachschlagewerk für alle relevanten Textstellen zu Personen und Figuren, Orten, theologischen Themen und Schlüsselbegriffen, literarischen Formen, historischen Ereignissen etc. gedacht.
Commentary on the Septuagint
Though other scholarly work has been undertaken with a focus on the Septuagint at various stages of its reception history or on the original meaning of individual books, a sustained effort, for the whole of the Septuagint, to understand the text at its point of inception remains, we believe, a desideratum.
La Bible d'Alexandrie.
Cette traduction a choisi de considérer le texte grec de la Bible non comme le décalque de l’hébreu, mais comme une création littéraire linguistiquement remarquable et historiquement féconde. Le texte est celui d’Alfred Rahlfs, «Septuaginta, id est Vetus Testamentum Graeca iuxta LXX interpretes», Stuttgart, 1935
Centre for Septuagint Studies

This article investigates the function of number seven as a narrative device and as the main structural pattern in the macronarrative of the Book of Revelation. Considering the final instauration of the Holy Throne in heaven and on earth as the plot of the story, the structuring of the book in septenaries leads the reader through a gradual fulfillment of the New Creation and to the ultimate destruction of evil.
