Parabiblical Texts: Literature Inhabiting the Narrative World of Scriptural Texts

Programme

Parabiblica are texts which locate themselves in the narrative world of Biblical texts, related to the Old and/ or New Testament. Many of those related to the OT are of Jewish origin but have been transmitted by Christians, others have originated in Early Christianity, Oriental Christian Cultures, Medieval Judaism and Islam.
