Teaching seminar. 8–12 November 2021

The purpose of this 20-hour seminar on Christian Greek Literature is to address the gap in the Classical Philology degree programme, which currently lacks the study and translation of Greek texts from the Christian period. The seminar will consist of monographic sessions that cover both theoretical and practical aspects of a representative genre of literature, such as the Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles. Special attention will be given to women.

– This training activity is part of two research projects: ‘Literary topics in late antique Christian hagiography from women’s perspective’ (GV/2020/013), funded by the Valencian Government, and ‘Edition, Translation and Commentary of Acta Thomae’ (PID2019-111268GB-I00), funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
