A team of international scholars will guide an exploration into ancient Jewish and Christian texts that intersect with what we may call “science.” In a text-based workshop setting, we will explore the place of natural observation and knowledge in some of the classical works of the period, as well as the more specialized texts dedicated to the description and interpretation of natural phenomena.
