[Antiquitas] Soisalon-Soininen Symposium on the Septuagint, June 1–3, 2017, University of Helsinki

[Rautio, Pekka A]

This international symposium focuses on the Greek language of the Septuagint and is organized in memory of Ilmari Soisalon-Soininen and in celebration of his 100th birthday on June 4, 2017. The symposium is organized by the Centre of Excellence “Changes in Sacred Texts and Traditions<http://blogs.helsinki.fi/sacredtexts/#.WQrSt3rkVP0>,” Faculty of Theology, University of Helsinki.
Ilmari Soisalon-Soininen (1917–2002) was Professor of the Faculty of Theology 1964–84 and the “founding father” of Septuagint studies in Finland. He did pioneering research on the Greek syntax of the Septuagint, especially by applying to it his translation-technical methodology, which is still the hall-mark of the “Helsinki School” of Septuagint studies.
The international keynote speakers include John A.L. Lee (Macquarie University, Sydney), Silvia Luraghi (University of Pavia), Jan Joosten (University of Oxford), James K. Aitken (University of Cambridge), and Theo van der Louw (SIL International), and the former students of Soisalon-Soininen Raija Sollamo, Anneli Aejmelaeus, Anssi Voitila and Seppo Sipilä.
