Call For Papers: The Aramaic Studies Section invites papers on any aspect of Aramaic language, texts, and culture. We welcome presentations on Targumim, Qumran Aramaic texts, Syriac language and literature, Samaritan papyri, Biblical Aramaic, Elephantine Aramaic, magical texts, and other topics. In addition, for the 2020 meeting we especially invite papers on Aramaic inscriptions (ranging from Old Aramaic to Palmyrene, Hatrene, Nabatean, and Old and Classical Syriac). We also invite contributions for a session on the subject of code-switching, which will be hosted jointly with the SBL program unit on History and Literature of Early Rabbinic Judaism.
