Simmons’ paper accepted for Oxford Conference
Michael Bland Simmons, Distinguished Research Professor in the Department of History, World Languages & Cultures, recently learned that his paper will be read at the XVIII International Conference on Patristics at the University of Oxford in August 2019.
Simmons’ paper, “Un análisis filológico comparativo Griego- Siriaca de los fragmentos de Gressmann Bruchstücken XVI (V.37f.) y XVII (V.42) del Libro V de la Teofan ía de Eusebio de Cesárea,” will be a comparative philological analysis in Spanish of two Greek fragments from Book V of Eusebius of Caesarea’s Theophany, written in the 330s A.D., and the corresponding passages of the Syriac translation of the work, which was written in A.D. 411.
AUM earns Military Friendly designation
