From the rue d’Ulm to the road to Nablus
Three young students from the Ecole Normale Supérieure began the year by editing notes listing hundreds of works (literary, pictorial, musical, philosophical, etc.) inspired by biblical texts. This is a meticulous and long-term task, carried out with a view to the publication of an illustrated Bible that we hope to offer to the public in 2020.
Pauline Micos and Geoffroy Aujay de la Dure, the former passionate about Plato, the latter about Pascal, are both philosophers. They are working on new notes for the *philosophy and *ancient texts sections. In this capacity, they participate in the seminar “Bible and philosophy” given as part of the curriculum offered by the École Biblique.
Ombline Wirth, in her Master’s degree in medieval literature, is a drawing expert. She is studying artistic notes, from illustration to art history.
From Notre-Dame to St-Stephen
Joseph Ahmad, who is working on the revision of the English translations of Jonah and on its Jewish and Christian reception, comes from Notre Dame University (Indiana, USA). His studies focus on the history of theological ideas in late antiquity and the Middle Ages.
He is working on the scientific editing of Jonah and James, with a view to their publication by Peeters.
