The project's final conference will take place in Bern on March 14 to 17, 2023.
The Lege Josephum! SNF Project, together with the Institute für Judaistik, hosted an international workshop on the Hebrew text of Sefer Yosippon and its Latin sources (11-12th May, 2022, Mittelstrasse 43, Room 220)
Carson Bay, in collaboration with Jan Willem van Henten (University of Amsterdam) and Michael Avioz (Bar Ilan University), organized this conference on the development of the Josephan tradition from the Latin Josephus into the Hebrew Yosippon and its reception.
The conference, on Aug. 23-26 2021, featured talks from two dozen international experts, including two team-taught masterclasses, one facilitated by the Lege Josephum research team.
In January the Josephus Latinus Project held its first workshop (slightly delayed by the surprises of 2020), featuring six talks on how medieval scholars read and annotated a range of authoritative texts, with particular focus on the role of the digital humanities in conducting and presenting research on glossing practices.
The Lege Josephum Team organized a lecture series in autumn 2020 on how medieval Jewish and Christian communities perceived themselves and each other, with the title Fremdbilder – Selbstbilder: Juden und Christen im Mittelalter. It featured 12 lectures from international scholars across a range of disciplines, in both English and German.
Carson Bay was awarded the 2020 De Gruyter prize for his paper “Exemplarity, Exegesis, & Ethnography: Abraham in Pseudo-Hegesippus as a Test Case for Biblical Reception in Christian Late Antiquity”
