Den Kern des Buches bilden Beiträge des 3. internationalen Wortkshops „Coptica – Gnostica – Mandaica", der im Herbst 2017 in Prag stattfand. In ihnen werden mit Blick auf Wirkung und Rezeption biblischer Texte in außerbiblischem Kontext jüngste Forschungsergebnisse aus Koptologie, Religionsgeschichte und Theologie präsentiert. Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchungen stehen Schriften aus dem koptischen Handschriftenfund von Nag Hammadi, doch kommen auch Texte unter anderem zu Manichäismus und Mandäismus zu Wort und werden Überlegungen zu antiker und moderner Übersetzerpraxis angestellt. Insgesamt werden in diesem Band verschiedenartige Themen behandelt, die von allgemeinen Erwägungen, philologischen, literaturwissenschaftlichen und exegetischen Fragestellungen bis hin zu missions- und rezeptionsgeschichtlicher Darstellung in Wort und Bild reichen und das Interesse von Religionshistorikern, Koptologen, Theologen und klassischen Philologen finden dürften. The book presents the proceedings of the conference Coptica - Gnostica - Mandaica III held in Prague 2017. The volume consists of 14 articles on the specific themes of Coptic, Gnostic, early Christian, Manichean and Mandean literature as well as on Coptic language and iconography. Most of the articles are devoted to the 'meetings' of different kinds, including Pagan, Christian, Jewish, and Gnostic myths and translators.

The authority of canonical texts, especially of the Bible, is often described in static definitions. However, the authority of these texts was acquired as well as exercised in a dynamic process of transmission and reception. This book analyzes selected aspects of this historical process. Attention is paid to biblical master-texts and to other texts related to the “biblical worlds” in various historical periods and contexts. The studies examine particular texts, textual variants, translations, paraphrases and other elements in the process of textual transmission. The range covered spans from the Iron Age, through the Old Testament texts, their manuscripts and other texts from Qumran, the Septuagint, down to the New Testament, Apocrypha, Coptic texts, Patristics, and even modern translations of the Bible. The book is particularly intended for those interested in the history of reception and transmission of biblical texts and in the textual criticism.
