Sarah Yardney - '1 Sam 14:41 As an Example of Interpretation in LXX Samuel”

The Septuagint translator of Samuel is widely considered a “literal” translator who does not engage in interpretation. In this presentation, howeverm, Divinity PhD candidate, Sarah Yardney, suggests that the example of 1 Sam 14:41 demands that we nuance our description of the translator to allow for the possibility that he could intentionally depart from his Vorlage when he considered it in need of correction or improvement. Light snacks and refreshments will be served.
