~ENG~The tale of Joseph and Aseneth gives an account of the love, conversion and preservation of Aseneth, the haughty daugther of an Egyptian priest, who married Joseph, son of Jacob (cf. Gen 41,45).

English summary: The tale of Joseph and Aseneth gives an account of the love, conversion and preservation of Aseneth, the haughty daugther of an Egyptian priest, who married Joseph, son of Jacob (cf. Gen 41,45). This narrative of ancient Judaism is offered in a new translation on the basis of a recently revised Greek text. Besides its detailed introduction, the volume offers a wide range of essays on various themes connected with this tale: legal and economic conceptions, religious background, relations to the New Testament, narratological, ethical, psychological aspects and history of reception. German description: Die Erzahlung Joseph und Aseneth ist Liebes- und Bekehrungsgeschichte in einem. Sie berichtet von der stolzen agyptischen Priestertochter Aseneth, ihrer Liebe zu Joseph, dem Sohn Jakobs, ihrer Bekehrung und Bewahrung, und knupft damit an eine Notiz der biblischen Josephserzahlung an (Gen 41,45). Dieses Erzahlwerk des antiken Judentums wird in einer aktuellen Ubersetzung auf neuester textkritischer Grundlage geboten. Die einfuhrenden Beitrage lassen das weite Themenspektrum anklingen, das mit Joseph und Aseneth beruhrt wird. Neben den einleitungswissenschaftlichen und textkritischen Fragen stehen die rechts- und wirtschaftsgeschichtlichen Verhaltnisse, der religionshistorische Hintergrund, die Bedeutung fur das Neue Testament, Erzahlstruktur und Ethik sowie psychologische Aspekte, aber auch die erstaunliche Wirkungsgeschichte dieser Erzahlung im Mittelpunkt.
