This volume presents the proceedings of an international and interdisciplinary symposium on the intertextuality of ancient literature and its medieval and modern receptions. It engages with the topic of intertextuality in four regards: 1. What constitutes a Text and what constitutes an Intertext: text – texture – textuality in archaeology, iconography and literature? 2. Forms of Intertextuality: including the aspect of oral and written text. 3. Tradition and Transmission of Texts and Intertexts: examples of intertextuality. 4. Intertextuality and Canon: aspects of the specificity of intertextuality in canonical contexts.

"Between Text and Text is a thoroughly eclectic collection that contains something for everyone to enjoy. [...] ...[it] beautifully illustrates the manifold connections that exist among texts from the ancient world. Readers will learn much about the study of intertextuality from this volume and how European scholars in particular delineate parallels within the biblical corpus and beyond." -- Geoffrey David Miller, Review of Biblical Literature, 04/2014
