I am in Aberdeen for the 23rd congress of the International Organization for the Study of the Old Testament (IOSOT).

Sister societies, such as the International Organisation for Septuagint and Cognate Studies (IOSCS) or the International Organization for Qumran Studies (IOQS), also meet during this congress.

I will speak about “The Scripts of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the Context of the Hellenistic Southern Levant” on Thursday from 16:45 to 17:15.

For more information, please visit the congress website.
