Πόλις ασεδεκ in Isaiah 19:18: A Translator's Wordplay or the Actual Jewish Name for 'Leontopolis'?
Journal of Septuagint and Cognate Studies (JSCS). 2022. Vol. 55. P. 155–164.
Among different explanations of the peculiar reading πόλις ασεδεκ in Isaiah 19:18, the most
probable seems to be the one that regards this expression as an allusion to עיר הצדק in Isaiah 1:26.
However, observations on the translation technique of the LXX-Isaiah make it dubious that this
allusion was created by the translator of Isaiah himself. Additionally, in Isaiah 1:26 the Hebrew
expression is translated, while in Isaiah 19:18 it is transliterated, which is a strange way of creating
an intertextual allusion.
The present paper suggests an alternative, namely that the wording of the Hebrew text of
Isaiah 1:26 may have influenced the Greek text of Isaiah 19:18 indirectly, first by becoming the
name the “Leontopolis” Jews gave to their settlement, not in the imagery of the book of Isaiah but in
the real world of Ptolemaic Egypt, and only afterwards finding its way into LXX-Isaiah. Our
analysis of the translation technique of LXX-Isaiah lends support to this scenario.

The article demonstrates that Mandelstam's poem, "There are orioles in the
woods, and the length of vowels..." reveals an internal connection with
Khlebnikov's poem “О, dostoevskiymo running cloud!": one of the latter's key
images "shines through" the text of the former. Drawing on Mandelstam's
definitions that describe the reading process, the author reveals how this
connection might have arisen, whether ...

The paper explores Martin Heidegger’s concept of the «history of being». This concept was created in the philosopher’s late period. Critically analyzing the own paths of existential philosophy revealed in Being and Time, Heidegger gradually forms a spectrum of being-historical notions that will occupy a central po sition in contemplation after «the turn». The methods ...

This article develops the concept of the metasimulacrum of otherness to analyze the structural transformations of difference in digital culture. Unlike traditional representations of otherness, the metasimulacrum reorganizes the very conditions of perception, producing otherness as a managed, aestheticized, and commodified flow. Digital platforms no longer marginalize or suppress difference; they integrate it into the ...

It has long been recognised that the LXX and Targumim share common exegesis of a number of verses and words.
