THE THIRD MEETING OF THE 2003-04 YEAR will be held on Thursday, 22 January
2004, from 7-9 pm in the Second Floor Lounge, Logan Hall at the University
of Pennsylvania. For some backgrounding on the topic (which is a
continuation of the previous year's topic), see the PSCO web page (URL
below) and especially
http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/rs/rak/courses/735/Parabiblical/intro.htm
(with links to electronic versions of M.R.James Lost Apocrypha and similar
materials with early Christian focus).

Persons wishing to dine with other participants prior to the meeting
should meet at 6 pm at Logan Hall, Second Floor Lounge  (southeast of
Locust Walk and 36th Street Walk) or go directly to the Food Court in the
basement of Houston Hall (just east of Logan, along Spruce Street), where
an international variety of food choices is available at reasonable
prices.

PROGRAM:

Ross S. Kraemer of Brown University will present on the topic
"Lust, Chastity, Endogamy, and Typology: Early Jewish and Christian
traditions about the marriage of Aseneth and Joseph."

Ross suggests that participants might want to read:

a) The text(s) and translations of Aseneth --
-Greek (shorter text) and French translation in M. Philonenko, Joseph et
Aseneth (Brill 1968);
-new edition of the Greek longer text, Joseph und Aseneth: kritisch
herausgegeben von Christoph Burchard (Brill 2003).
-English Translation by Burchard, in Charlesworth, OTP:
-by D. Cook (of the shorter text), in H.F.D. Sparks, AOT;
-my own slightly revised translation incorporating parts of the longer
text(s) into what is generally a translation of Philonenko's text is due
out momentarily from Oxford in Women's Religions in the Greco-Roman World:
A Sourcebook, but probably not in time for the PSCO meeting. There's also
my original translation in Maenads, Martyrs, Matrons, Monastics (Fortress
1988), for those who have it handy.

b) Kraemer, When Aseneth Met Joseph: A Late Antique Tale of the Biblical
Patriarch and His Egyptian Wife, Revisited (Oxford 1998), chs. 8-9 (on
dating and authorial identity); the appendix (Aseneth in Rabbinic
Traditions).

c) People with far too much time on their hands could also look at my
article in the Kraft festschrift (Scholars 1999; now handled by Duke
University Press), "Could Aseneth Be Samaritan?" which treats Samaritan
interests in Aseneth.

Web fans may also want to consult Mark Goodacre's Aseneth page at
http://www.bham.ac.uk/theology/goodacre/aseneth/biblio.htm

LOOKING AHEAD (tentative; details to follow in due time):

"Parabiblical Traditions with Connections to Magic -- SOLOMON and
PHILIP" Sarah Schwarz, University of Pennsylvania, and Debra Bucher,
University of Pennsylvania

"The WATCHERS and GIANTS in Jewish, Christian and Islamic Traditions"
Annette Reed, McMaster University (Canada)

ELIJAH Traditions: David Frankfurter, University of New Hampshire

April/May 2004:
On MARY (exact title forthcoming) Ann Matter, University of Pennsylvania
and Vasiliki Limberis, Temple University
