The volume contains the revised papers of an interdisciplinary
conference held at the University of Goettingen in May 2012, which
focused on ancient and medieval receptions of the Book of Isaiah in
their interconnectedness. Among Jews and Christians, Isaiah was the most
frequently transmitted, most often employed, and most variously
interpreted of the prophetic books. In early and classic Islam,
moreover, Isaianic traditions carried considerable weight as well. In
fact, the Book of Isaiah was appropriated in diverse cultural contexts
by many distinct yet interrelated groups and communities. The process of
interpretation - and the delineation of the interpreter's identity that
was bound up with it - involved both differentiation from others as well
as sharing of convictions, methods and traditions with them. By bringing
together studies of Jewish, Christian and Islamic interactions with this
book and undertaking a comparative analysis of their findings, the
volume opens up important new perspectives for research.
