Author Description

This series publishes monographs and edited collections on texts traditionally studied as "Old Testament Pseudepigrapha" and related topics. It seeks to foster new research, not just on the importance of such texts for understanding early Judaism and Christianity, but also on their significance for the later periods in which they were copied, translated, excerpted, and transmitted. The scope of the series includes the material philology and manuscripts of so-called "pseudepigrapha" as well as the Jewish, Christian, Islamic, and other contexts of their reception in late antique, medieval, and modern eras. Special concerns include broadening the scholarly conversation around "pseudepigrapha" to include more diverse and global perspectives.
