Rome (Agenzia Fides) - Promoted by Urbaniana University Press, Wednesday 14 February at 5pm at the Aula Newman della Pontificia Università Urbaniana (Via Urbano VIII, 16 00165 Roma) there will be the presentation of “Editions of the Bible in the context of Propaganda Fide” - a study in Italian on editions of the Bible at the Pontifical Urbaniana University - . Speakers will include Mons. Pierfrancesco Fumagalli, Doctor of the Ambrosian Library; Fr. Fidel Gonzales, MCCJ, Church Historian; Fr. Marek Rostkowsky, OMI, director of the Library of the Pontifical Urbaniana University; the author Giovanni Rizzi, Docent in Sacred Scripture at Pontifical Urbaniana University. Modera: Prof. Innocenzo Cardellini, CS, Biblical scholar, Pontifical Lateran University. The work is in three volumes:
Vol. I - Editions in the constitute Bible languages; Vol. II - Europe; Vol. III - Asia, Oceania, Africa, America. The work is the fruit of lengthy study to research and reconstruct documented biblical patrimony at Pontifical Urbaniana University consisting of critical editions of the Bible, Old Testament (Hebrew Greek, Latin), New Testament (Greek and Latin) for distinct parts of the OT and of the NT; in addition there are other editions some of a Polyglot Bible and other specific texts and scientific translations. Numerous ancient editions of the Scriptures in ancient versions in Greek, Samaritan, Armenian, Syrian, in Copt, Ethiopian, Slavonic or ancient Slav, Farsi, in Arab. From the overall vision of the work, unique in concept although distinct in three volumes, there emerges an important philological contribution which implicates the consideration reserved for the linguistic, theological and cultural history of the versions of the Bible; in many cases these versions emerge at the beginning of the history of many Churches and therefore justify treatment in the respective original geographical areas.
