✨proofs✨ honoured to have an essay in a volume dedicated to the late Jim Aitken. the essay is a sequel of sorts to my JSJ article, “Are Eidōla Idols?” basically, if eidōla aren’t idols in the traditional sense, is eidōlolatria still idolatry? if not, then what?

a screenshot of the first page of my essay, “The Unextraordinary Life of Eidōlolatria: Morphology, Neologism, and the Invention of Idolatry,” chapter 23 in _Postclassical Greek and Cultural Identity in the Septuagint: In Memoriam: James K. Aitken (1968–2023)_, ed. Andrew T. Keenan and Robert S. Walker (Berlin: De Gruyter, forthcoming).

The oldest textual witness to a Talmudic text remains unpublished. It was found written on plaster on the wall of the Tel Reḥov synagogue. Supposedly, it is identical to the same synagogue's famous mosaic inscription, but older. (The photo here is from elsewhere in the synagogue: see below). 🧵1/4
