The Decentralising of the Biblical Text in Manuscript Formation Seminar

Description

The aim of the seminar is to explore those manuscripts in which the biblical text has been marginalised or obscured in favour of other textual, paratextual, or codicological features and consider the resulting historical, theological, and textual implications. The seminar is sponsored by the ERC-funded CATENA project.
