Annual Workshop: Historical and Theological Lexicon of the Septuagint (HTLS)
June 30, 2026 | 8:30 am – 4:30 pm
Pontifical Biblical Institute, Rome

The Pontifical Biblical Institute, in collaboration with the UNESCO Chair and FSCIRE, invites you to the Annual Workshop of the Historical and Theological Lexicon of the Septuagint. Date: June 30, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM. Location: Pontifical Biblical Institute, Rome. Free admission.

The Historical and Theological Lexicon of the Septuagint (HTLS, ed. by Eberhard Bons and Daniela Scialabba, in collaboration with Anna Mambelli; 4 vols., Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2020–) is a FSCIRE large-scale collective and interdisciplinary project which aims to produce a new research tool: a multi-volume dictionary exploring the meanings, usages, and possible semantic evolutions of the most significant terms or word groups attested in the Septuagint Bible. Each term is analyzed within six sections: 1. Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic Greek; 2. papyri and inscriptions; 3. the Septuagint and its Hebrew equivalents; 4. Jewish literature in Greek; 5. the Second Testament and proto-Christian noncanonical texts; and 6. early Christian literature.

We are pleased to announce the conference “Discourses about the Divine: Language about Transcendence, Language Transcending Borders,” which will take place on April 22–23, 2026, at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome.
We will examine how ancient Jewish and Christian texts in Koine Greek address the challenge of expressing the divine through human language. By exploring both canonical and extracanonical writings, we aim to shed light on the development of theological discourse and its cultural contexts. We invite you to join us in this exploration and to share your reflections!
