In Babel's Tower Translated , Phillip Sherman explores the narrative of Genesis 11 and its reception and interpretation in several Second Temple and Early Rabbinic texts (e.g., Jubilees, Philo, Genesis Rabbah). The account of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9) is famously ambiguous. The meaning of the narrative and the actions of both the human characters and the Israelite deity defy any easy explanation. This work explores how changing historical and hermeneutical realities altered and shifted the meaning of the text in Jewish antiquity.

Christians face a conundrum when it comes to naming God, for if God is unnamable, as theologians maintain, he can also be called by every name. His proper name is thus an open-ended, all-encompassing list, a mystery the Church embraces in its rhetoric, but which many Christians have found difficult to accept. To explore this conflict, Valentina Izmirlieva examines two lists of God's names: one from The Divine Names, the classic treatise by Pseudo-Dionysius, and the other from The 72 Names of the Lord, an amulet whose history binds together Kabbalah and Christianity, Jews and Slavs, Palestine, Provence, and the Balkans. This unexpected juxtaposition of a theological treatise and a magical amulet allows Izmirlieva to reveal lists' rhetorical potential to create order and to function as both tools of knowledge and of power. Despite the two different visions of order represented by each list, Izmirlieva finds that their uses in Christian practice point to a complementary relationship between the existential need for God's protection and the metaphysical desire to submit to his infinite majesty-a compelling claim sure to provoke discussion among scholars in many fields.

Raoul de Presles est le dernier traducteur en français de la Bible avant l'apparition de l'imprimerie. Il a été injustement traité par l'historiographie qui a voulu voir en lui un simple plagiaire, au point que son oeuvre biblique était restée inédite. Cette édition de la Genèse le réhabilite dans sa dimension de traducteur original et d'exégète. L'ascèse philologique autorise l'audace herméneutique. Aussi, à l'horizontalité de l'édition convenait-il d'adjoindre la verticalité d'un sondage sur les diverses versions françaises de l'épisode de Babel entre le XIIe et le XIVe siècle. Il en ressort que la célèbre péricope n'est pas perçue dans ce corpus selon les schémas aujourd'hui dominants, hérités de la Renaissance. Le traitement du motif, particulièrement indécis et sujet à de multiples ambiguïtés, invite à revisiter une interprétation de Babel que la tradition a figée.
