Call for Papers: Slavic Apocrypha, Oct. 3-5, 2013, Łódź, Poland

January 4, 2013 / johnson.60@osu.edu / Comments Off

Deadline for submission of presentation topics is 31 January 2013.

The International conference Biblia Slavorum Apocryphorum III: Varia will be held October 3-5, 2013 at the University of Łódź Training and Conference Centre (Centrum Szkoleniowo-Konferencyjne Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego), Rogowska 26, 91-529 Łódź, Poland. This is the third in a series of conferences on Slavic apocrypha (see below for citations of published conference proceedings).

Proposed topic areas:

“The international conference Biblia Slavorum Apocryphorum. III. Varia will … be an opportunity to advance the discussion of the problems of pseudo-canonical Old, New and Inter-Testamental literature. At the same time, we hope to broaden the topic area of the two previous meetings to include the following issues:

pseudo-canonical Christian literature not directly connected with the Old and New Testament sacral history;
the relics of pagan cults in pseudo-canonical literature;
heretical literature (Manichaean, Paulician, Bogomil, Cathar etc.) and anti-heretical literature (treatises, council decisions etc.);
cultural communities, interreligious and interdenominational relations in the Mediterranean Area and South-East Europe.

In view of the breadth of the topics covered, the discussion is to be organized around the following points:

pseudo-canonical literature: current state of research, available text editions, catalogues, thesauri; textual criticism (the original vs. translations, revisions, variants); the language of pseudo-canonical texts, the relations between originals and translations; Biblical text vs. pseudo-canonical text; issues in poetics (narration, composition etc.); the theology of pseudo-canonical texts;
the relation between literary texts and folklore texts (legends, songs, rituals); mythology vs. literature vs. folklore; folk Christianity and pseudo-canonical literature;
the relation between Old and New Testament pseudo-canonical texts and commentaries on post-biblical events;
the relation between pseudo-canonical and heretical texts; anti-heretical literature as a source of information about alternative religious movements in the Middle Ages;
iconography depicting broadly understood pseudo-canonical works.”

Deadline for submission of presentation topics is 31 January 2013. Please send via email to ceraneum@uni.lodz.pl or skowronek.malgo@gmail.com, with a note ‘conference – apocrypha.’

Confirmation of participation and abstract (in Polish, English or Russian, up to 1000 characters) to be submitted by 30 April 2013.
The conference languages are: Polish, English, Russian.
Presentation time is limited to 20 minutes.
The 250 PLN / 70 EUR conference fee (100 PLN for graduate students and other pre-Ph.D. level participants) is to be paid upon arrival at the conference. The fee is meant to cover part of the costs of the conference materials, the publication of the proceedings as well as a cocktail party.

The papers presented at the conference will be published (upon favorable review) in the subsequent volume of the yearly Studia Ceranea.

November 14, 2012 / johnson.60@osu.edu / Comments Off

The Early Slavic Studies Association, “a scholarly, non-profit organization dedicated to fostering closer worldwide communication among scholars interested in pre-eighteenth century Slavic studies” and “promoting the dissemination of scholarly information on early Slavic studies through the organization of meetings and conferences and through the Association’s newsletter,” held its annual meeting at the ASEEES conference in New Orleans today. Michael A. Pesenson (University of Texas at Austin), representing the ESSA Book Prize committee in the absence of the committee’s other two members, George Majeska (Emeritus, University of Maryland) and Julia Verkholantseva (University of Pennsylvania), announced the winners of this year’s ESSA Book Prize.

The Book Prize Committee found it difficult to choose only one winner and one honorable mention, so they awarded two first-place prizes and two honorable mentions.

First place honors went to:

David B. Miller, Saint Sergius of Radonezh, His Trinity Monastery, and the Formation of the Russian Identity (Northern Illinois University Press, 2010)

and Jan Klápště, The Czech Lands in Medieval Transformation: East Central and Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages, 450-1450 (Brill, 2011)

The subtitles are in white letters, written horizontally to the left and to the right of the centered title, author and image.

ESSA 1st Place 2012

Found in the Archives: Newsletter of the Hilandar Project

September 7, 2012 / johnson.60@osu.edu / Comments Off

Among the archives of the Hilandar Research Library and the Resource Center for Medieval Slavic Studies are copies of a newsletter that was published sporadically from 1979-1986. The inaugural issue of the “Newsletter of the Hilandar Project at The Ohio State University” was edited by Charles E. Gribble, now professor emeritus of the OSU Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures. Issue number 1 appeared in January 1979 with the following stated purpose:

“This is the first issue of a new publication designed to keep both scholars and the general public informed of the work going on in the Hilandar Project at The Ohio State University…. We will try to provide a running bibliography of publications, both books and articles, which treat materials contained in the Hilandar Collection, or which touch on related topics.”

The issue includes a description of the formal dedication of the Hilandar Room in the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library on December 2, 1978, and reproduces the remarks made on that occasion by Father Mitrofan of Hilandar Monastery, Riccardo P. Picchio (Yale University), Richard Pope (York University, Toronto), and Dr. Predrag Matejic. The speech that Father Mitrofan gave at the banquet that evening is also included in this issue.

Issues No. 2 (Oct. 1979) and No. 3 (Aug. 1980) were also edited by Charles E. Gribble.
