I’m happy to share a project I’ve been working on for some time here at the Text & Canon Institute. Some readers may remember that back in 2021 John Meade hosted our first colloquium on Origen as Philologist. As the papers for that near publication, we are pleased to announce our second colloquium will be this July on the topic of NT text-types. The event will be hosted at Lanier Theological Library’s beautiful Yarnton Manor just outside Oxford, England on July 18–19. We hope to open registration for attendees in the coming weeks. For now, here are the details of the speakers.
Held just outside Oxford, England, the Text & Canon Institute’s second colloquium will bring together an international group of textual scholars to take stock of the current debate, present fresh avenues of understanding, and discuss the implications for New Testament studies. You can find more details at the conference page.

Is it possible to see abstracts for any of these papers yet?
ReplyDeleteAnd is it expected that any of them besides Jongkind's will be in defense of the use of non-byzantine text types as categories?
No abstracts yet nor can I say yet what a given participant will defend. That's part of the fun!
DeleteNot to seem petty, but shouldn't the ad read Oxford 2024 (rather than 2023)?
ReplyDeleteThanks for catching that. I must have used the old graphic accidentally.
DeleteWill the sessions be recorded?
ReplyDeleteNo. But the end goal is to publish the papers.
DeleteMakes sense. Thanks!
