The Vulgate Recension. From Adam to the End of the Achaemenids
Series:
Arabic Christianity, Volume: 6/1
Author:
When the 13th-century Coptic official al-Makīn Ibn al-ʿAmīd was thrown into prison by Sultan Baybars, he set out to compile a summary of Biblical, Graeco-Roman, and Islamic history for his own consolation. His work, which drew from a vast array of sources, enjoyed enduring success among various readerships: Oriental Christians, in Arabic-speaking communities but also in Ethiopia; Mamluk historians, including Ibn Ḫaldūn and al-Maqrīzī; and early modern Europe. A major instance of Christian-Muslim interaction in the pre-modern era, Ibn al-ʿAmīd’s chronography is still unpublished in its pre-Islamic part. This volume edits, analyzes, and translates the section from Adam to the Achaemenids.

The Brill Exegetical Commentary Series delivers critical commentaries on the books of the New Testament. Each volume presents detailed comments organized in four major sections: textual criticism, linguistically informed exegesis, history, and theology. This structure intentionally highlights the unique contribution of each area, with the overall focus always placed upon exegesis that pays attention to the language of the text. Commentators bring the latest research to bear and seek to inform readers about the particular biblical book, rather than provide a compendium of the opinions of others. Each commentary is designed to make a substantial contribution to New Testament scholarship in its several different important facets, but particularly in its attention to the Greek text as the center of the commentary task. The Brill Exegetical Commentary Series will be an essential resources for all advanced students and scholars of the New Testament.
The Biblical Interpretation Series accommodates monographs, collections of essays and works of reference that are concerned with the discussion or application of new methods of interpreting the Bible. Works published in the series ordinarily either give a practical demonstration of how a particular approach may be instructively applied to a Biblical text or texts, or make a productive contribution to the discussion of method. The series thus provides a vehicle for the exercise and development of a whole range of newer techniques of interpretation, including feminist readings, semiotic, post-structuralist, reader-oriented, materialist, deconstructionist and other types of literary readings, ideological, ecological and psychological readings, among many others.
The series published an average of seven volumes per year over the last 5 years.

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.
The series published two volumes over the last 5 years.

Author:
Revolutionary and writer: how do they fit together in one person’s work? Using literary texts from French, German, Russian and American pro-revolutionary writers, Sheila Delany examines the synergy of politics and rhetoric, art and social commitment. The writers she considers gave voice to the hopes of their time. Some led the events in person as well as through their writing; others worked to build a movement. Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, Luxemburg, Mao, Sylvain Maréchal, Boris Lavrenov, Bertolt Brecht and others are here: consummate rhetoricians all, not necessarily on the same page politically but for the revolutions of their day.

‘Verbalising the Visual and Visualising the Verbal’
Series:
Metaforms, Volume: 24
Author:
Two allegorical ancient Greek stories about a young hero’s career- defining choice are shown in this book to have later been appropriated to radically differing effects. E.g. a male’s choice between female personifications can morph into a female’s choice between the same, or between various male personifications. Never before have so many instances of this process from art, literature, music, even landscape gardening, been culled. Illustrations, mainly colour, many brought into this context for the first time, are conveniently incorporated into the text, thus mimetically mirroring a central theme of the book, the process of ‘visualising the verbal, verbalising the visual.’
