POSTPONED Talk: The Syriac Life of Burzoy, the creator of Kalīla and Dimna – Jan van Ginkel
13th Symposium Syriacum and 11th Congress of Arab Christian Studies, Paris (France), July 6–11, 2020
In the presentation Jan will discuss some intriguing aspects of the Chapter “the life of Burzoy” as depicted in the Syriac translation and adaptation of Kalīla and Dimna. The most obvious aspect is the “Christianization” of the text, but there are other unique features – linguistically and socio-historically. In addition, attention will be drawn to the translator’s role as an “creator” of a text.
