Call for papers: International Organization for Targum Studies

Christian Brady — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 11:34:57 +0000

We are only a year away from the triennial IOSOT meeting and its associated meetings which includes the IOTS. The Congress will be held at the University of Helsinki and the associated meetings will overlap a bit more this time which should help to reduce costs, 10 days in Slovenia was great, but tough on the budget.

So with the Congress only a year away it is time to announce the call for papers. It is shaping up to be a very good IOTS meeting with Steven Fraade and Dineke Houtman confirmed for two of our three keynote addresses.

Please forward this call and feel free to this link to the Newsletter for Targumic and Cognate Studies site.

Firefox Plugin for Bibliobloggers

JP has posted a search plugin for FF 3.0 that will allow one to search all the biblioblogs on this list . It is a wonderful tool and I am very grateful for it! (As an aside, if you are on Mac using NetNewsWire as a reader, which is now free, you can simply search all feeds from there. BUT you can only search what is still cached. This plugin allows you to search the Google archives.)

To install this on a Mac, download JP’s plugin (it is an XML file so “Save as…” to the computer. Then go to the Firefox.app, right-click on it and select “Show Package Contents.” That will show you what is bundled into the program. Now go to Contents/MacOS/searchplugins and drop the file in there. Restart Firefox and away you go! Very nice and convenient.
