ANNOUNCEMENT OF PRIZE FOR OUTSTANDING PAPER IN SEPTUAGINT STUDIES

The International Organization for Septuagint and Cognate Studies is offering an
annual prize of $250 to be awarded for an outstanding paper in the field of 
Septuagint Studies. This field is construed broadly, and a paper may focus on 
any aspect of the study of the Greek translations of the Jewish Scriptures.  The
IOSCS wants to encourage the study of these translations by younger scholars, 
and eligibility is thus limited to advanced graduate students or recent Ph.D. 
recipients (3 years or less after receiving the degree). The papers will be 
judged by a committee constituted of IOSCS members, and papers receiving prizes 
will be published in an appropriate form in the following Bulletin of the IOSCS.
The committee reserves the right not to award the prize in any given year. The 
deadline for submission is August 31, 1998 and should be sent to Benjamin G. 
Wright, Department of Religion Studies, Maginnes Hall, 9 W. Packer Ave., Lehigh 
University, Bethlehem, PA 18015.
