Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Variant textual witnesses imply that scribes had considerable liberty in making changes to texts of the Hebrew Scriptures. The group invites paper proposals dealing with the processes of textual growth, and especially those which focus on what textual differences can tell us about the composition process of apparently authoritative works. There will also be two closed sessions, one dealing with the Growth of the Gilgamesh Epic, and the second with the Textual Growth in various books of the Hebrew Bible.
