This volume contains the papers of the second meeting of theinternational scholarly network The Hermeneutic of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, held in Aix-en-Provence (September 25-27,2008). Drawing on Gérard Genette's theory of the five different types oftranstextuality (Palimpsestes, Paris 1982) - intertextuality, paratextuality, metatextuality, hypertextuality, and architextuality -, the volume discusses the practices of metatextuality as diverse ascommentaries, hypomnemata, pesharim, targumim, Talmud, allegoresis, glosses, scholia, catenae, questions-and-responses (erotapocriseis), prophetic extracts, hypotheses, homilies, integumenta and involucra, Keys toDreams, translations, and transliterations in the ancient Mediterraneanand Near Eastern cultures. Presented with an introduction designed toexpand and re-contextualize this issue, the eighteen communicationsdiscuss common strategies of metatextuality in Greek and Jewish cultureas well as its various manifestations in the Septuagint and other Jewishtexts, in the literature of the Ancient Near East and Egypt, in theGreco-Roman world, and in the late antique and medieval literature.
